Anyone disassembled a Borchardt?

Looking at Tafel2 from the Borchardt owners manual, that T-thingie can't be very big...

Probably should have explained more, this is one I'm building. The 'T' lug would be about 3/16's x 1/4", I'd say. The rectangular hole, in the frame, running lengthwise., It's the inside that's got me bamboozaled. The pic herein is my build, The pic above off the net.

Does this help?

It helps to the extent it verifies what I thought of the dust covers construction. The pic with the cover off indicates the rollers seem to butt up against the interior walls of the frame, which is how I made mine. The question is how the interior of the frame was milled. That is, the lugs/'T' lug, whatever you call it, seemingly must be flush with the interior frame wall. But, how the heck to drill, mill, gouge or otherwise make a recess. That, or I'm completely missing something. The only way I can even think to do it is to go in with a 'ball' shaped diamond bit on my dremel flex shaft and just 'hog' it out! Would work I guess, but sloppy, to say the least. Thanks though, Ron, for those pics! Bill
