How's the ankle/foot treating you now?

And I think I missed it, but how did you fasten the aluminum rings you made, to the aluminum panel? Taper fit, or tack in place? I need to find a mill. Those would look killer on a lot of things!

Hoping the heel's doing a lot better now, Steve.

Thanks for asking Ryan, yes its improving each week, I knew it would be a slow recovery as my mate had the same, up to about 80% now I reckon.

Do you mean the firewall gauge rings if so its all held together by the gauge brackets.

Improving all the time Roger thank you

Yes Steve. I was wondering about the gauge rings. I'm glad to hear it's getting better and you're nearly back to 100% already!

Nice addition Steve. :-) Looks killer.

Well I had to go back to see the consultant on Friday and he said although it's up to 70% fixed it's not gonna get any better, he suggested I wait and have another course of cortisone jabs or an operation, the operation will mean 3 months minimum off work so I elected to go with more jabs in October which he thinks will do the job, if it don't it's an operation, deep joy !!!

Still on light duties so I got to thinking about glueing the door skins in place, until I realised I hadn't fully finished the outside door handle mechanism whoops !!!
A simple plate is laminated to the inside of the door skin, its fitted with a pair of rivnuts for the handle to screw too and a holder for the outer cable, The cables are stainless steel bicycle brake cables which are more than up to the job and are cheap !!!

That's a great idea! I need to do something different on my corvette. I didn't even think of the bicycle cables. Thanks for the info and taking the time to document your mad skills!
