Good to see that it’s all working to plan. 👍

[@spidey4fun]

Thanks. Your middle earth build is great. Good fun to watch.. and educational also.

@@spidey4fun cheers mate. 👍

[@ClassicRockSolo]

Looks great that mate. Can you remove the trem bolts,springs and trem completely when the two halves are together? I had to make extra clearance to be able to on mine.

[@spidey4fun]

Oh... excellent question. Let me check..

[@spidey4fun]

No. Thanks for the heads up.. do the bolts need to be 80mm long?

[@ClassicRockSolo]

@@spidey4fun no worries 😉 you could probably take 10mm of the bolts no problem but just check. Of course make them too short and you’ll be fighting with the spring tension to refit them. I kept the bolts full length and removed more timber from the chamber to the rear of the bolt heads on the top half.

@@ClassicRockSolo Sorted. Just took 7mm off the bolts. Woody was kind enough to give advise.
