Keep it simple....... Measure twice and cut once. Best advice I ever had when I was an apprentice. I cut it 3 times and it's still too short!

I couldn’t make the welds look as bad as the ones that TVR did though....
Simon @ SiFab.co.uk
Sifab temporary @ gmail.co.uk I remember going to a Motor Show at Olympia (yes I am that old!) where there was a naked chassis on the TVR stand, all nicely chromed, but the welds were atrocious. My mate (a Morgan dealer) was quietly dismissive , he said "if that really is the best they can do, then it would be better not to advertise the fact"

You guys are way to neat with wood, mine never looks anything like that.
Mighty impressive, a Morgan owner I know makes the most amazing Rocking Horses and I just look in awe at the skill.

I know a plumber would have done it much faster Craig, but imagine the satisfaction I got when I stood back and admired my handywork!
Plus I only used parts I already had in my toolbox so not only a great job but free too.
