Shhhh... don‘t tell them, they’ll jump off the post van 😬 I‘ll make it quick, promise - they won’t feel any pain...

Great times, thank you! I am really looking forward to working on these.

Hopefully the doors only open from the inside ;) but I know for a fact that metal feels no pain :lol:

Thank you kindly :)

The 24mm is tricky 'cause you have to scale down from the originals, which were not 24mm and there are decisions to make.

I can imagine! But still you achieved the final results nicely, I can hardly see the differences of the 2 sizes in your picture!

Sure man... little scratches... you‘re a mad man! These are pristine! I‘ll be crying while I hit them with the hammer - you can’t say I didn’t tell you :lol:

Seriously, I swear there's a whole bunch of little scratches. Saw them with my own eyes :lol:

I really like what you did to that last buckle - it looks cool now, so please, do your thing :)
