I made my side irons from steel tube, cut it down to a D shape and used a piece of 1/8” flat bar to finish off the D shape by welding and found a piece of scrap steel tube as the bit that fits in the brass tube. This bit is the same as the chummy type and has a sawcut down its length and a slot for the wing nuts. It is welded to the DShape. A piece of bar was turned to fit the inside of the tube and tapped 5/16” BSW. Leave a collar on the end of the bar so that it doesn’t disappear inside the steel tube.
Difficult to describe in words but I think a drawing is in Chris Gould’s “Replica Ulster “ booklet.
Not a good description I’m afraid and it’s from making them forty plus years ago.
