BMCo Digger

Here is my first restoration of 2013, a BMCo Digger.
As you can see its missing a few parts, but looks to be in a sound condition. One of my main challanges is to obtain a topflash in oak, can anyone give me dimensions or a template so I can get one made.
If anyone has any images of BMCo Diggers, that will be useful as a reference in my restoration.

Nice looking machine and love the quarter sawn oak front, which only a few machines seem to get the best bits for this effect. Any before pictures ?

Can't help on the missing items, but there are a few BMCo specialists who may ping you the answers who should see this thread...

Hi alan57

Nice machine in a lovely case, looked at that machine myself a few months back when purchasing something from the owner, and it will be well worth bringing back to working condition.
