While thinking on that and not fancying more CAD/computer work for a while I decided to cut some metal for the standards - here's the 1/4" steel all squared up but the plan is to thin a good part of the uprights to 4mm to mimic the original castings. I might file some curves on the uprights as well to make them look a little less blocky. Brass or bronze crankshaft bearings will be used in the split tops. If I had the skill they'd look like the one on this page ...we can but dream.
Oh yeah, I also fitted the outlet connector to the pump but a photo of that can wait 'til next time.
