    Geoff, if you do end up making a small run of the short arms for the IWS bracket I'll gladly purchase one from you. I have had one of the longer 'J' shaped arms of an original bracket kicking about for ages, & don't in fact have a complete one myself. However, no worries if it's not possible, the other bits are more important. Have just wrapped up the gash Mk1 & Mk3 tubes for you.

    Best.

    Just to clarify, one rail was sold to BigDuke as in spec, the other one was a freebie as it was marked as being out of spec. and he's one of those people who can make metal change shape.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    No worries, purely spur of the moment. Just so it's clear what I have to pay as well.

    Yes, there is that option as well Peter, but they'd have to be marked as such somehow.
