I didn’t manage to get the motion fitted although much tinkering has ensued. Time was short yesterday due to other things in life but I did manage to spend time making a number of retaining pins and washers to secure the various links together. The kit does provide a number of what are essentially long rivets for the job but their domed head although very nice are not much like the real retaining pins so having taken the measurement of them off the GA, I turned up something that I think will look better.

I did similar on the Princess but didn’t make any washers just adding a touch of solder at the rear of the joint. This time I felt that washers might help in the event that I need to remove them at any point.

They are turned from 1.5mm brass rod of which I have a lifetime’s supply, in the form of an inherited pack of brazing rods.
