I started by marking out where holes need to be drilled
measuring all holes from one side to enhance accuracy.
Normally marking fluid would be applied but the laser
cut material in the kit had also been laser marked where
the holes had to be. So the marked positions were centre
punched.

Today the two sections were aligned and held with
engineer's clamps and two holes drill 1/8" to take two
rivets to hold the position whilst drilling
|
|
Then the pairs
of plates were drilled through using a drop of cutting
fluid in each hold.
|
|
and then the
buffers beams
