Hi all
Just so it is clear, the plate on the first picture actually came off the old looking machine on my second post, I used it as a template to mark the holes on the side plate that I cut the rails off, you will also see silver paint sprayed around the rails before they were removed, I used the paint as an outline to line up where the plate needed to be mounted, although a jig would have been the best way to go, had to resort to old school tactics, as you can see from the forth picture, there were no previous holes, once I receive the fabricated decks in the next couple of weeks, I will send some detailed pictures, cheers
