Little Bit of Trouble! BW

Pics below i hope!

Few months ago bought the bw pneumatic flipper off swanny that tom armitage built a while ago.

Decided to rebuild it in a slightly different shape, more like my feather Nothing but Trouble/Flow! shaped.

Base plates 3mm ali pocketed out, got the motors mounted in blocks secured in by a grub screw- will want lightening yet depending on weight. Still quite a bit to do yet and will hopefully be making bulk heads next week :)

Will be using the same stainless flipper arm too as i managed to straighten it out and seems a gd length for what I need.
