Mike,
Thanks. I wasn't sure how it all went together and the arrow
shaped piece is all messed up. I'll have to get a new one as the
old one isn't worth trying to save. It looks like it has already
been saved and reused once before by all the file marks and
sloppy brazing which was also filed to make it fit.
