Leg Assembly 1.7, Ankle Cylinder fitting


Ankle Cylinder fixings.


10mm dia drill bit, clearance for dowel 9mm dia. (bought original to make the under shoulder stabilisers)



Marked position on leg, then drilled holes with 8mm dia drill bit.
Then pushed the dowels into the holes and glued them into the cylinder fixings.
I then carefully trimmed down the dowels diameter till it was a tight fit in the holes.

Cylinder with fixings in place, trial fit

Wood glue, dowels into fixings
A quick mock-up
Marked up where the ankle slot needs to go on the flat face.
Next is screws, primer, filler, more painting....... oh yeah and an ankle wedge, almost forgot
