Really nice, if you're still in contact with Tom could you ask him if he'd be interested in making some replacement panels for us others who are just that little bit too far from him?

That piece pictured is all that's really needed, and I speak from experience, I note that he even goes to the trouble of stamping the recessed jacking pad area. I can do the welding it's fabricating the section that's my problem.

Or perhaps DMGRS can do a deal with Tom if he's not interested in shipping them. There is certainly a need and a market.

Here's hoping

Tom's work is first class hopefully I will not need his services just yet, but when I do then he will be the man I take my tourer too that's for sure, thank you for sharing your photo's with us Arctic.
