Going thru old postings and photos, I ran across this 113h that I had spent hours sanding and polishing the raw aluminum. Cortez sideplates and seat, my spacer bars,shift lever,and clamp. This was 2017, back when my crippled hand was still mostly functional. I temporarily built this for photo op, then dismantled and sent the parts to anodizer
