Back to the building after two weeks of this flu.
The photos today are how I'm putting together the Large and small Cowel vents.
I started by cutting two lengths of 70mm and two lengths of 45mm all from a 14mm piece of dowel,all four pieces had to be sanded for the bases and the top turn gear rings,the base has to go up the dowel around 5mm for it to fit into the deck,and the gear ring goes over the top of the dowel and sitting onto top of the gear ring is the cowl vents,the photos show the first part and none are glued together just put together to see how it looks.I will be drilling a hole in the top of the dowel and will epoxy a piece of wire rod also drill into the cowl vent and then join the two together with epoxy.There is other bits to put into place and the dowel has to be treated and painted will post when all is done.Hope you like wallace
