Yep, they will come up well. Be stronger that flat back tails.

I never noticed that the std brackets tails were different. Either way.

I will get all the bits boxed up over the weekend so I can find out the total costs and let people know by Skype or PM.
After all the parts are boxed then I will post up if there are any parts left.

Nice, one, looking forward to seeing the hardware. How many have you sold out of curiousity?

I still have 4 transom brackets. I will keep one of them to turn into a new pattern as Hugs would like his Ali one back.
The one I will keep is not that good due to shrink in places that are seen. I can fix that with filler on the pattern.

There are no more "A's" but if more are required I can get some more, they are not that bad to make.

I still need to get them boxed up so I can find out how much the shipping will be.

Good stuff, That got there a lot quicker than the last lot!

Looks like it has been there all its life! :P
you know the drill. 5/16 bsf thread.

I think I used a 6.5mm drill, it should be 6.8mm but I have the set of 3 taps.

My parts have arrived 8) A little fettling and machining to finish, and studs to drill, tap and fit. Nice job Nudge :P

I've just obtained another skeletal bracket, that's short of its tilt V strut. Are there any left from the cast batch?

I have only got 3 sets of the skeletal bracket bits left.
I still have the pattern for the "A" never had one for the "V"
