Mk 2 LEVER FRAME INSTRUCTIONS

Postby ken kirk » Tue Oct 19, 2021 7:12 am

Hello,
does anyone have a copy of the instructions for the above please?
Our website does not seem to have them, nor do Jeremy or Howard.
The folded slip that comes with the kits say they may be downloaded from the stores website and if unable to access the internet, ask for a paper copy from stores.
Neither works.
Any ideas?
Ken

Many thanks for your early reply Will.
These instructions are for what is now known as Mk1., developed by the SHAG Group.
They are useful non the less, but I would like the Mk 2 instructions if they still exist.

Any offers chaps?

As Howard has posted a link to the official copies of the instructions later in this thread, I have removed the ones I posted here as they were downloaded by me in May 2020 and have potentially been updated.

Perhaps those should now be added as info links in the stores listing. And the Mk1 instructions could also go there as they are currently only linked from the public webshop.

Hear hear Keith.
It has been an avoidable frustration, but perseverance and the kindness of others has won the day.
Got to build the b++y thing now.

Hi Ken.
I had similar problems trying to find the instructions for these.
They are on Howard's Blockpost website, but they take a bit of finding.
I don't suppose you will need it, but there are also the locking frame instructions.

The instructions are excellent, as you'd expect, and the designer won't be sitting too far away would he?

Just to correct any misunderstanding, the "official" page from which the instructions may be downloaded, as detailed on the packing slip, is here:-

https://blockpostsoftware.co.uk/L_frame.html

This is the link provided with the kits and it is maintained and updated as any changes or updates to the instructions occur. It is NOT linked from the https://blockpostsoftware.co.uk homepage which relates only to my signalling simulation and to minimise the chances of Google finding it.

Ken and I corresponded extensively on this yesterday but Ken was unable to download from that page as Norton AV was blocking access. The "false positive" which was causing this has been removed and the block should now have been lifted. No one else had previously reported this issue and I am hopeful that Norton will remove the block. (well, actually I am not hopeful as they are bunch of crooks who are quick to slander me but not so keen to sort out their own mistakes ...)

However it is not true, nor has it ever been true that I do not have them!! Nor is it true that the slip mentions that they can be downloaded from the Stores site as that has never been the case - though I would have no objection to them being available from there. The comment on the slip about asking the stores for a paper copy relates really only to in-person purchases from shows as alamost every who purchases remotely does have internet access.

Hope that clears up any confusion ;)

Best Wishes,
