Moving forward, built the Upper Carriage Left side davit, mounted just below the Left side barrel elevation bearing cap. This was used to lift/lower elevation control wheel operator platform, for placement and removal. Base mount I made has center pins to insert in davit swivel post, and accompanying post outside base collar. Have both sides of loading trunk rivet detailing complete and affixed, completed recoil band recoil and recuperator cylinders with barrel recoil sleeve reinforcements. Adding details to Left side Lower Carriage. Really am adding more detail than originally envisioned.. but, got the bug, I suppose. Could find no dimensions on davit, but scaled out and built to 4ft high, 4ft long. From davits I have used in the past on sites, I believe it is close.Jesse TCA 12-68275
