Hey there Pete, top of the mornin to you, yesterday I received two 6" wide x 48" long sheets of .125", millermeters in your lingo, basswood for the Pawnee. My Micro Mark DC powered saw will cut the strips very accurately. It's 39 and pouring rain here, in fact I hear little ice balls hitting my window.
Jim, I'm going to send the extra back plate your way in a day or two, I tried the back plate off of my 82-b and the crank pin touched the aluminum back plate. I'll send two gaskets in case you need them for a little clearance. The gaskets are coming from the new gasket guy in town.
