I had quite a bit to do with his son in law Jason a few years ago but freight was just so prohibitively expensive to ship to Adelaide and as such I've never bought one. I felt that Dennis really did make the best catchers in the land and was pretty close to the real McCoy apart from the pressed side panels which is just way to costly to replicate. That pressing was originally done to add strength into the sides, but as he makes them out of slightly heavier gauge steel will eliminate the need to add the profile into the sides. I will say though that the added pressing does make them aesthetically more appealing than just plain straight.
I must admit that getting the incorrect screws is rather odd and really shouldn't have happened and for that I will apologise on the ODK's behalf. I'm sure Bruce will make good on it for you. They were originally just plain dome headed 1/4 gutter bolts which can be obtained through any hardware chain store,
Anything you can do to prevent the dreaded cancer of steel is basically a good thing and as such I'd totally support you on that issue.
Looking forward to forthcoming progress photos, as they should be great.
Cheers, BB.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
