Thanks, they are a bit big for this cabinet. Looking for corner pieces that are 14mm max in all dimensions.

And yes, piping it is.

I'll take it you endorse my choice of colour?
Excited for this build.
But I really don't like the tolex colour. But appreciate others might.
Also I do that think a black face plate with white writing will look right with that blue . .
Maybe better with a cream face plate a black print ?

Anyway, this one's for Conway.

Very slow progress... was forced to go away with her indoors first week of hols and now 2nd week of hols is done and dusted. New job is calling tomorrow.

I have been working on the chassis layout in AutoCAD this week (for cutting holes etc) and that is nearly complete. Struggling a bit with placement of the four large Electrolyte Caps as they do take up a lot of real estate. The aluminium can (3 caps in a single can) version would have been easier...

Yep, must be tough. She's a fine girl but I'd only known her for a short while before she was trying to ham string me with one of her friends.

Should be considered a compliment though, and that's how I see it. :D
