    Well, feel free to now.
    I'm particularly interested in exactly how you went about securing the chequerplate to the gaurds.

    Thanks

    I used rivets to attach them to the gaurds , and i used a folder on the front to follow the contour at the front of the gaurd , used the folder in two places to follow the curve , They look good i had them powder coated black to reduce the glare
