Ahoy David
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your wife.
Really nice work I like it.
Is it built straight out of the box?
Cheers

No aftermarket parts. I used bead crimps for the insulators and the fore and aft cable eyes were constructed from sewing needles. The cables are secured through the needle eyes. Thank you.

A overall wash and some dry brushing will make all that fine
