Thanks guys.
If I follow my heart, @dostovel , then I guess I would agree with @spikeyxxx and go with the original, as It does look better from this perspective, however in the bigger picture………. and if I listen to what it has to say……..
@blanchsb, as I discovered it’s a lot more work than you first think, I can take it further and resize the brackets as I have already started, and take another look, with the rest of the dog. I can probably do that tomorrow and post again in the evening. Then all you would need to do is realign the connections.
My lines will only be visible at certain angles between the battery box and the cab, and at the point they meet yours.
Yours are perfect as they are. I think they will look noticeably over sized in comparison to the loader arms if you made them bigger.
