I haven't received the final on the 2nd as of yet as the grades of steel had to be altered bit. I had an idea this might happen with newer grades being available which I had not been familiar with. I am amenable to these alterations when I can use a stock item instead of special ordered this always means a better chance of ongoing availability and sometimes a lower overall cost as well especially when dealing with metal which has to be formed as long as the KSI and minimum yields remain within my requirements
