Default One cover ..partially done!

I found the only way to do this was to 'mill' out a recess inside the frame. How they originally machined this is beyond me! My cover rotates about 90 degrees throught the 'slot'. The 'T' is flush to the inside, in the recess, so that the rollers swing by. I turned the 'T' in 2 parts on the lathe and ground the sides, then silver soldered the 'T' lug. I have still to bend the lip and make/drill the retaining pin. Still the buffer spring to be figured out.
