And with the end pulled out to 120mm you can see the stays start to come away from the tangs on the inside.

Thinking if I’m holding the ends out where I need them before brazing then it might be better to use brass as it’ll fill the gaps better? Suspect it’d still need some cold setting too.

Can’t you pull the lugs over too?
Some gentle hammering

With a drift, from the inside? I tried pulling them over with an adjustable spanner closed down on them yesterday and like I say, was difficult to do much more that bend the ends. Will give it a go with a hammer today.
