Charlie I have been known to scrounge Emmon's parts from wherever they are available, this project will take all I have and more as I still don't have a set of legs for it..... the pedal bar ally should be here tomorrow.
Here is the latest pics.............

Looks great John!
Can I ask how you removed the circular "engine turning" that Cliff put on his endplates?
The ones on my guitar are almost 1mm deep in places.

Thanks Barry and Charlie, Rich the endplates are just as I got them apart from a clean and polish the end plates are very thick I would think you could skim them on a mill no prob.
