Feeling somewhat like the young lad told to 'wax on / wax off' - by my soon to be teacher of 'scraping' - I have been 'handed' (i.e. come dig this cast Iron plate out of the shed) and asked to clean it up ready to scrape. I thought the casting interesting as there is no 3 point foot arrangement and 3 3/4 BSW threaded holes - 2 at side (like handle positions) and one in the centre - it also has had two threaded holes put in the working face.
Having cleaned off the bad rust from below and applied a coat of paint - I plan on ringing it for a while and letting it hand if I can once I have the working face cleaned off.
What provision should I make for fitting three feet - chances are the cast ribs will not fall at the correct points - so then what ?
24 " x 18" - pre - 1938 judging by the bolt heads fitted (full size BSW not the mid WW2 reduced A/F sized) - no makers marks.
