Looks like I was trying to make all items and hardware for rear hull before my accident. Sorry if I jump around...have a little ADD going on.

These first pics are of me making bolts for rear exhaust shroud covers, using brass rod and some ABER bolt heads.

Judging by your finely detailed brass work, all that time spent around surgeons has paid off; you've put it together with surgical precision! Fantastic stuff.

Hope you're doing well Burgy, glad to see you back in action mate. All the best for a safe and speedy recovery!
