Also welded a small plate each side side of the turret to strengthen where the side of the turret was ground out to allow clearance of the spring.

Thanks Andy,
I've done some measuring and no doubt the pin recess needs some removing as well.
I've come to learn how to translate the TTR fitting instructions. When they read'may need to be adapted', you can read it as 'it doesn't in anyway fit and will need a load of fettling'.
Dave,
The inner fold around in the turret needs to be removed for a length of approximately 6cm. It's not ideal, but I can't see it would make much, if any,difference in strength, but it does seem to allow a route for dirt/water to ingress so I may TIG - up the gap which is formed. I note Andy's comment about fixing an addition support on the outside of the turret. I can't convince myself this is need on the grounds of strength, but who knows?
I had a fiddle last night but won't be able to finish the work until the weekend.
It needs tidying but as you can see the width is now adequate, but as Andy says the depth needs the spindle to be carved out.
