looking nice, Unfortunately you will find a lot of the pattern parts need a bit of fettling to fit properly.

Are you sure you had the right nuts? Originally Minors had a course thread (BSF) on the rear pins and a fine thread (UNF) on those front pins. Confusing - and easy to muddle up :wink:

Still on this as and when I can find funds to get new parts, so much missing from when it went off for welding and still needs more welding as it never got done, and the paint job that was also done is now flaking off
