Thanks Stuart
Did you use hex head 1/2 inch bolts to replace the original round head and peg type? I am still mystified why round head and peg was used originally.
I will persist with the induction heating after a tentative try yesterday when I got it too hot to touch but no where near dull red. (about 15 seconds worth of heating)
I have a 20 ton hydraulic press but the problem is my holding the weight and lining it all up and operating the pump all on my own! Elderly muscle power very much deteriorated. Will call for reinforcements if next heating and hammer in vice are not successful.
