    Just before I finish the base, I wanted as mentioned before that I wanted to assemble it all with rubber boots on the rod ends (heim/rose bearings).

    I looked at many options online, and nothing I found made me happy and as far as I'm aware, there are no boots for the female version of the bearings. I'm sure they're out there but prohibitively expensive, or stupid delivery times.

    I bought a few of the offerings, on offer, but they turned out to be IMO rubbish.

    So I'm working on this. It's not quite there yet, (I need to get the clearances closer to acceptable) but I've broken the back of it, and will tweak it tomorrow, befor making a test mould.

    I've bought a 2kgs of resin (to last over xmas), and a 1kg tin of liquid silicone rubber, so it's just a matter of a little more work.
    I didn't want to finish the base and not be able to put it all together all greased up with dust covers.
