Decided to start work on the pistol grip, first drilling out the dodgy resin hex bolt with a 10mm drill bit or a 3/8 if you like.
then cut the thread off a 10mm hex bolt to be placed in the hole

Will glue the bolt head in a a later date

Now on the trigger, not an original idea as I got this from another build thread.
Mark lines on the trigger for positioning, cut a piece of coat hanger as the pivot, and cannibalise a pen for a spring.

The hole for the pin is only partially drilled into the opposite side, the pin will be cut to length and the hole puttied over before painting.

Then drilled a hole in the top of the trigger, slowly, slowly. Drill a hole on an angle into the base of the grip, to stop the spring from moving or ever popping out.

Thought I would start work on power cylinders.
found the right size nuts and bolts at Brisbane Fasteners at Brendale

Sorry for the out of focus photo

First I ground the resin bolts off the front, then very carefully drilled the holes to screw the very small bolts into.
Once ready for final assembley I will grind the heads off and locktight the nets in place.
