well this is where a few hours of today was spent. have been thinking about this for a few years. kept looking at what was there and thought 'bling it out a bit'

 

so i did.

 

looks better than what is in the photos but with the mirror blades and new siderails from @JPD (thanks again mate :023: )

 

not totally finished, still need to tighten everthing up.

That looks great Tony. Might have to steal that idea for the CF. Nice thinking out of the box mate.

Don't take this the wrong way because I love iventfulness but and this is only my opinion it doesn't suit the vintage of the machine, i love the mirror blades they look great, but the checker plate just don't look right.

Other than that machine is looking brilliant
