Wow, Thanks Chris, much appreciated. Sorry I didnt respond earlier. A Paypal will be on its way soon.
BTW. I hate to keep asking you for things but If it is not too much trouble please send close up photos of your Benson Bridge. I need to make a duplicate and its hard top find good pics of an original.
Thanks again,Bill
Thanks again. These dimensions and Photos will be very helpful. I am going to attempt to make this one myself, If I struggle I will definitely look into your CNC connection.
Thanks Chris, You have been a big help.

Bill
