Re: swedge blade derby bolster age please

I never seen one w the rivet marks inside the ears like that.do i see a lil tab on top or the bolster looks folded over.
Mr jackalope knows far more about this stuff than i do.
Ive never seen a derby like that.its really interesting.i guess the top bolster is pinned and soldered to a liner.

If you don't feel comfortable doing it, Bill DeShivs will do a fantastic job. Others do great work as well. Jim John is a hell of a mechanic,mangler.i kno...
