I'd like one if those Darren. If you're selling off the extras. Best, Yale

If they fit a series II and if you can get the aluminum anodized to stay shiny, I would certainly buy one.

No problem guy's

The finished grille will be anodised. There is a yacht builder near me and I have already enquired about the process as the have a large complex that does all the masts, railings and deck fittings.
I plan to cut just one first to trial the assembly and if all goes well then I'll cut a 8' x 4' sheet worth.

Today I got the final trial set of grille parts back from the laser cutters. This is the third version as there were a few small glitches/errors in my CAD plotting on the first 2 sets.
After some small alterations (basically joining a few dots and gaps in lines) they are pretty much mm perfect.
The test pieces are cut from 2mm galvanised steel as this is what they had spare (no cost) The next stage is to save up over the next few weeks to buy a full sheet of 2mm aluminium!

Next I checked the assembly.
