Thanks for that. It is about 3.2kg so I seem to be in range with the weight of my parts. :agree: I was trying to find left hand threaded 14mm nuts(x3) to use as lock nuts on one side of each brace, but so far I cant find anyone/any ship that sells them. However, I was told today that it is not really needed to 'lock' both sides on each brace, only one nut(right handed thread in this case) is needed. Sounds logic to me! What do you fellas think?

Bruce(or anyone else), have you got a Kafer brace by chance? I would like to know how big the 'eye' on the end of the threaded rod is, so I can try and find similar size nuts to weld on the ends of the threaded rods? Thanks muchly!
