What are you blasting with Neil?
Bit of a thread hijack, but I can get stainless steel versions of the door handle plates made (shown in Neil's last post). I got some done and my local place will still have the files for doing them.
What are you blasting with Neil?
Ok. I’ve decided to go for it. Springs, e clips and wave washers ordered. I am doing one more loop on the pins before ordering those. Once I have started putting together I’ll move to a group buy thread.
Thanks for getting this off the ground Neil.
Just let me know when you want some money.
Re blasting, I was wondering because I bought a soda/grit blasting pot a few weeks back.
The soda works really well but the process is as slow as a very slow thing.
Not tried the grit yet.
Neil,
I am just refurbishing my catches and have sourced solid aluminium rivets for the centre pivot which holds the spring in. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222911118...m=222911118812
The head requires thinning down and I drilled a 4mm dia hole in the small end about 3mm deep to allow for peening over when fitted.

Final update before progressing to group buy. Clevis pins will take c 1month due to small batch run so expect to be available towards end of May. Final drawing attached. Springs have arrived and my crude jig appears quite effective. I am checking everyone on my targa catch and will complete the final bend at the end of the process.
