John and Alex build a Bailey bridge

[Donald Suttie]

Started assembling the bridge sections. Very tight fit. I was loosing my temper a bit with one of the ramp sections. I checked the instructions again and everything as per the drawings. Then had a look at Steve's build and the solution was there. Instructions are wrong. The bracing frame should not be on the end facing the ramp with the female end posts. The posts will not fit. Now wondering if the bracing frames should be used on the other side of the span instead? I will probably fit them for support.

John would it be possible to show visually what the mistake is?the reason for my request is it may be some time before i get round to my build
and if i could see visually what it is it would be helpful?

thanks
Donald
