I was thinking that bending over the knee, or similar would be hard to keep a constant radius on a large sweep.

Thanks Dave - yes the 749 is a pile of fun, as is the gang of geriatric reprobates that I have joined. Trouble with this one is that we don't have an existing shape to copy and some of the shapes we need for the front end are different to all of the original factory ones because of the wheel diameter we are using. Once I get started I'll post some pictures of the good the bad and the ugly results.
