My knowledge of Panniers can be writ large on the back of a small postage stamp, so I'm throwing this out there, primarily so I can increase my knowledge & hopefully get a job done.
8750 class pannier tank coupling rods - can anyone fire me off in the direction of a drawing that gives dimensions of said beasties, please? I believe they should be 'fish belly'.....?? I've looked through my limited GWR library collection.
The reason for my question - I've recently acquired a GRS G3 kit for one of these (it was at a price that couldn't be dismissed) but..... it's a GRS kit - those that know, know....! The coupling rods in the kit bear just a passing resemblance to the real thing, in that they're parallel metal bars with 3 (4) holes in 'em & I've got a mate who's got a pantograph mill, so.... might as well get something done that looks more like the real thing.
As always, any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
