Hi Ryan Thanks! The needle is skipping at the mo. There’s a South Bend lathe that I was given, lurking near the back of my workshop, I’ll post a pic later today

I painted the new horseshoe with etch primer, then a normal grey primer. Next, engine and box were carefully put back in place, using Mick's gearbox top crossmember as a starting point. I've measured and cut 4mm metal plate for the new engine mounts, and will post more updates and pictures as...
