Hi Stuart. The Scopestuff flocking is much blacker than the felt I have previously used. Have a look at the picture - the Scopestuff is on the right and the felt from Spotlight is the lighter material.

How did you shape your aluminium reinforcing?

Hope to see you out at Leyburn sometime?

David,

I originally got the plate rolled at Pronto Aluminium however that was for my Newt (never installed it because the newt was stiff enough). I had to adjust the diameter to suit the SN10 which I did at a friend's workshop.
