Not many posts here today so I'll through up todays progress.
Made the clamp plate for the bar, the bolts will be replaced with studs and nuts. Still need to make a chain catcher for the outside of the sprocket. From what I've read its really not pretty when one of these chains break at 8000 fpm. Oregon recommends a guard around it and a chain catcher, just a shaft extension outside the sprocket for the chain to wrap around. We'll humour them and make one.
Not as interesting a picture as Ed's new mowed lawn but here goes.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
