It's a top hat section spot welded to another top hat section
A seedy back street sheet metal works will be able to fold you up for a packet of fags

Bit of oversized top hat bish bosh slip it over :wink:

The newness has worn off a bit :wink:

Most small engineering places will either have or fold the bits you need for a few quid.
ok in your case quite a few quid due to the amount needed.

It's a case of cut a section out and measure it then get it made up.

Too bloody quiet :shock:
