Thanks for all the compliments so far guys :)

Linc, I could reproduce it in its entirety, but it would take 2- months and I'd have to charge an arm and both legs lol.

Neil, 1-1/4", 1/8" wall box section was used primarily, with other pieces using 1-3/4", both bandsawed into channel, angle and combinations thereof. Once I had a rough blueprint for the a-arm pivot blocks, I milled them out of the same plastic I'm now using for the tower uprights, I don't know what it is, (it's some nylon variant) and is extremely tough, yet it machines like butter.

The new shock mount pieces (alum) are temporary, as are the wing and wing mounts. Just 'proving" parts before I settle on material. I had to make new 'T' sleeves for the bigbores because the Trinity spings are FAT and were almost going over the stock T washers, those are delrin.
