I have been chipping away at this this morning.
Installed rings. Normally use my fingers but I used the device shown on the Hondas I have done to date.
Spaced the gaps 120 Deg apart, also spaced the oil rings 20mm apart.
I ensured the markings on the rings where facing up towards the crown.

This is what I ended up with for the cracks in the base.

I used 5mm pops and Araldite to sandwich the plates together, also drilled the end of the crack. Had to be mindful of the blades hit the repair on the inside. This is just what I have done with what I have at hand here.

I put this brace here as I wanted it clear of the grass chute.
I'll keep moving, cheers.
