Thanks Richard. I've been away on holidays (no, not in Victoria, but unintentionally had deviate through Broken Hill on the way home) ....so no progress to report lately.
Will be out in the garage this afternoon

Cheers,

Been working on the infill panels that seal the gaps in the side of the 'tub' under the kickplates.

Here's the first panel (the rearmost of 3 panels), in the process of being roughcut by jigsaw. Note the 'clamping fixture' .....

Next, my bending fixture for the slight angle at the bottom edge of the panel....

....and here's the first panel, installed....

Glen,

Looks like it came out very well. You should patent that professional looking bending and shaping device before someone copies it; who knows you could make millions . Way to think outside of the box.

Cheers,

Well Jim, I did think it might be worth buying a small sheetmetal bender....but then I thought 'why not just do it with what I've got'. Cheaper too...that was the clincher
