Centurion Turret Basket

Post by Mark Russell »

I built a turret basket last weekend for my Centurion. Copper brake tubing from Halfords and aluminium mesh from B&Q. All for under £20 plus 6 hours of my time! Soldered the whole thing with a 75 watt soldering iron. Pretty pleased with the results! All made from photos and pictures by eye!

Hi Mark - Mike Wyatt from Somerset here - a new Cent owner.

That basket looks great - just one question - how does it attach to the turret?

I have just bought Martin Taylors' Cent which is a "blank canvas", so looking for simple detail upgrade ideas!!!
