    I made an aluminum base plate based on DustyB's picture provided. Thanks again DustyB! I used an old scrap speed limit sign I had and cut it out of that. Believe it or not, I was able to find locally, NOS 10-32 Palnuts. It was an all or none purchase so now I have around 80-100 of these... I was not able to find any feet that were close to original so I decided to use what I had, and since I have extra Palnuts, I used them as fasteners on the feet as well. Not correct as original, but it all matches nicely and I think it looks good...

    Downsizing in Metalwork

    Hello all, and thanks for the positive comments. Finally got to a point where I could get the tank primed during a dry and low humidity weather window. Had been busy making the (tiny) tank lid furniture out of mainly Nickel Silver. The latch bolts are 3/64" (1.2mm) dia silver steel with 1/16" (1.56mm) stainless balls brazed on and fixed with 1/32"(0.8mm)rivets- Next job is permanently fix the woodwork to the tank and finish ready for paint Not completely successful with the soldered lettering, as a couple had moved slightly in the process...never mind!, just glad to get past this stage- I really need good, dry painting weather now, as I have to paint and assemble this and the T/Engine to fix the dimensions for the towing bar frame for the Water Cart. Regards.
