The Brookfields Special

[Howard Wright]

Hi All 

Thanks for the naming suggestions.  Shame its all going to covered up with fabric!

I've been busy doing other things today.  Putting some strengthening plates under the main cross beam of my trailer to help stop some cracks that have developed around the mounting points.  I've also replaced a damaged slat in my roller shutter garage door. I didn't realise how heavy a full double door would be and at one point ended up with the whole lot cascading on top of me.  No damage, just some pride and a small scratch on the modern!  I also investigated a rumble coming from under the RK.  Loose fabric coupling bolts no less.  

I have had a go at making a door hinge. I needed a double cranked hinge as shown in the photo below.  I couldn't see anything like it on the web so I took a strap hinge like the one on the right and bent it and cut it down to a reasonable size, filled a couple of screw holes with braze, cut other holes and cleaned it up. Three more to make.  Shame they are not brass but I may nickel plate them eventually.

Cheers

Howard
