I'm hoping someone on here can help. Whilst browsing the Reeves stand
at the recent Bristol Show, I noticed the gunmetal castings they had
for the brass edging strips to go around the firebox cladding, which
are then polished up etc. I hope someone can work out from this the
part I'm taking about!!! Anyway, the looked about the right size to
perform the same function on the pair of Conways I'm building with a
mate, but I'd like to see a drawing of the part to confirm. So, if
anyone has either the ME's or drawings for Bridget, could they
scan/photocopy the relevant part - all costs etc would be reimbursed.


Cheers

Alastair

PS - John S - I saw your CNC'd X3 mill on the Arc Euro trade stand -
what sort ball-park figure did the conversion cost, and how much was
your own manufacture compared to bought in parts etc? Very impressive.

Have you considered taking strips of 'guilders metal' (a malleable grade
of brass) and forming them over a block?
