Here are some photos of the claw mounts and bases on my Merkel drilling and the work in progress. Hope this works.

First a sketch of my understanding of the process.



A photo of a drilling with a rear base that I believe is soldered on?? No screws so I guess it was soldered?



Some photos of the claw mounts I am working on.







A photo of the rear claw mounted on a 1" diameter steel bar used for fitting in the claw to the rear slot in the plate.
