After forming the sides to suit the ends I double checked the angle against a side rib, then tweaked the hopper to suit;
Rechecking against the ends resulted in a gap;
So again the sides were tweaked to get rid of the gap;
Which means that the angle of the ribs are out;
I spoke to Roxey Mouldings about the problem - on the test build he kept the hopper body in one piece, which resulted in gaps aound the bottom of the ends due to the base being too wide but the angle of the ribs fitted the body side.
After discussing the problem we decided that it may be easier to adjust the angle of the side ribs by gently sawing part way through the inside of the angle...
...allowing it to be bent to suit the hopper side.
I now need to bite the bullet and start soldering!
Paul.
