I've had a good look around the breakyard and this was the best of all..


Not good as you can see, the paint is blistering because of the rust behind it.
So i have made it myself, with some nice hard wood and a 'woodmill'?



cut the back out end put my pl8 in



Only need to weld it fully end finish it now
