Thanks everyone your words are very graciously appreciated.
Richard, thanks mate your input has been just invaluable.
Ken your input is also greatly appreciated.The tracks were just linked together for storage & was an easy way to have em lined up.
I have nearly all the good Pappas pictures & others printed up in a folder now so i don't have to run between the computer & the shop for reference.
Phil buddy these numbers are sending me crazy but its good to see the light at the end of another tunnel. Phil maybe you should get a whole engine plate cut so it all fits snug. The main thing that stopped me from useing the acrylic was how it all fitted using the pieces that were cut. I can modify the backplate & take out the guts just leaving an outer rim like what i did with the styrene? Its up to you bud. There is little chance my ports are going to be better than yours. Your work is impecible & you work fast. I just have too many things going on around me with work, kids, dogs & learning new stuff inbetween to constantly stay on track. as for leaving you for dust, no chance their either buddy. your like Brocky at Bathurst once you get goin!
Charles also thanks for dropping in & checking on us. we really appreciate your time & input. the mask Im useing now is also a vapour/mist mask. Its not totally whats needed as you say but is better than a standard dust mask. All you guys out there that aren't useing or using low grade PPE better get with it. theres too many threads of people with illnesses from enjoying their hobbies. unfortunately most of what we use in this hobby is actually very harmful. I will be purchaseing more PPE very soon & now do all my sanding & sprayin & glueing outside or with my garage door open with a fan going. Well team thanks again & hopefully an update this evening.
