I have made up some wooden Ribands from sapele off cuts to replace the steel ribands supplied in the kit. They need to be trimmed to length and drilled to allow the securing bolts to be installed. Huge thanks to Charles A.Stewart who emailed me a drawing of the original wooden ribands with dimensions.
