Here are the gussets bolted in place with 4 M2 x 4 mm SHCS for each gusset.

This pictures shows the bearings and connector pin as it sits in the rear frame. The neck will get sandwiched inbetween the bearings plates and bolted in place with 12 M2 x 12mm shcs that clamp the bearing assembly and 3 M2 x 6mm shcs that bolt the flange part of the bearing plate to the neck. The connector pin is held in place by 8 M2 x 8 shcs.
Once the neck is attached to the rear frame it will be very hard to see these features.

Really nice updates, MPE. I love all the little details. Making separate parts that bolt up like the full sized machine, is the most realistic way to go. The neck looks fantastic. Looking forward to more updates as they come.

When you finish making 24M Motor Grader, and you want to start selling them as a Rc kit, I would buy on for sure,

Thanks Cameron...
if and I dought that "IF" will ever happen, your at the top of the list for a kit. Better start saving because it will be $$$$$$.

Little insight on the neck... I had place the order to the machine shop back in late January. The part was remachined 3 times before it was made correctly because of machining issues. 6 months later I had the part at my door. I had to do some slight machining on various features to get the correct fit that I was looking for but all in all as complicated as the neck was to machine - I am very happy with the final results and the job they did on it!

Thanks Dan.
I am not ready to give up my Dewalt drill for parts... she has been a good drill for me over the years when I was in the contracting business, although I am sure she would wear the 24M proud if it came to that.

Here is a glimpse of my project wall - all are in various stages of design and build. The D11R is most recent with about four years on the design. I am planing to start cutting metal in the near future on that one.
