That would be excellent Michael, thank you. The challenge is to get accurate dimensions that can be used to make drawings, so that the drawings can be used either to make jigs and fixtures, or at least to make components by hand. The bits of concern are the solid deck (which is made up of several pieces, folded individually then welded together) and the side plates. One of the useful outcomes would be finding out whether the Series 1 and Series 2 side plates are the same aside from the Series 1 having mounting holes for the deck while the Series 2 has the two rails welded to the side plates.

If we could document all this and make it available on the site, we might find people producing their own solid decks, and ideally, someone tooling up to make the decks commercially so they could be retrofitted to tired Series 2 machines with rail problems.
