I asked the same question and suggested it only needed to be as per original with the swage lines in pairs.....Mark said his design is stronger.

Yes Please
I think the amount of stretching may be a challenge to remove as all the beads are well bent as well
I saw the Childers ute but not sure how you would go about getting the cut sent to Sydney?

Meh - nobody will see it down there - hopefully these being early iterations the quality will pick up a bit . He must be rolling them in stages rather than them being pressed as they would have been back in the day.

I have been to Marks place in Traralgon about a week ago. Im building my modified FJ van at a mates on Traralgon. He works from home and is making it all from there. It appears to me he is just making miscellaneous bits and pieces for utes and vans

Im down in Traralgon most weekends working on my van and would be happy to pick anything up for anyone and cart back to Melbourne.
