Hi John,
Noted on the grills, turret support was installed as you did.
Cheers

Small improvement- three slots added to resemble the original a little more
- Reshapped and 10ba fasteners added.
Cheers

A very satisfying job, even better when put the vanes in the right way round as I did on the second time round.
Your fun now begins with the hinges, what jolly japes you'll have with those.
Patience.
Just out of interest if you want a finer mesh, Wick's, the building materials supplier does a very nice steel product that looks pretty good.
Ideal for the baskets too. £7.70

I managed to put some of my vanes in upside down.
Trying to follow the originals patterns.
