Hi Grumpy, DJ and Rolla,

I'm in the process of stripping two 14 inch Electric model 45's (one solid and the other twin rail) and also I shall be totally wrecking a 17 inch twin rail unit for parts that has absolutely shickered rails which I intended to grind out the rails and use as a donor for the comparison between the early and the late side plates and also the clutch mounting anchor bracket. I have already discussed this idea of a commercial venture with Michael in regards to the manufacturing of a replacement solid deck so it could be easily retro fitted into a twin railer and thus reduce the amount of SB's going to scrap due to this common problem.

The only thing is that it has to be done for both the 17 and 20 inch units (different engine placement)as I don't feel the 14 inch machine warrants it as they are much stronger due to their shorter rails in the Series II

If I can help out I'm more than happy to be part of the process.

Cheers,
BB

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
