Part #TBD - SD24 Ladder Set
These photos show a pre-production set of our SD24 ladders being test assembled. The fret contains two sets of ladder sides
and an assembly fixture to hold the ladder while being assembled. The mounting tabs on the ends of the ladders are bent
90 degrees and then the ladder sides slide up, into the slots on the fixture. This will hold the ladder square during
assembly. The kit will include .012" brass wire to use as ladder rungs. There will also be a mark of some type on the
fixture to aid in cutting the rungs to length. The idea is for the fixture to hold the sides in place, the rungs slide into
the holes in the sides and then solder or glue the whole assembly together. Once that is done, the assembled ladder slides out
of the fixture and is ready to add to your model. I am also looking into how I can add drill template holes to the fixture
plate to aid in getting the ladders added easily. The kit will also include NBWs for holding the ladders in place.
Plan to add a little more area to the triangular mounting pads, just look to small right now. This kit will be produced in Phosphorous
bronze for strength purposes as it is a little more rigid then brass. No time frame yet on release of kit but should be
ready by spring 2012.
