It's taken a long time. I started this without a clue.

Not as neat as I was hoping but I was scared of losing to much height and not having enough room to fit the pickup

The bog job on the screw hole - not my finest repair!

Many thanks to all those who have so willingly offered their help and advice. Without you it would have been kindling by now.
