I will be using a piece of brass tubing running through with a wrist pin to pivot on like a normal cylinder would so everything will be encased. The screws are just temporary holders and work great.

Thanks
I'll have to make note of that modification to be able to use it on some upcoming projects.
The excavator is really coming along and looking good doing it

Wow, i'm very impressed with your fabrication, simply amazing.

I bet Bruder never thought their toys would transform into "working" models such as this
