Here's the patient laid out on the table with her chest opened up. (see the Frankenstein reference) Working on fitting a good bit of the hinge end bracket up in and around the 57 hinge mount. Cut and shaped and bent with many weldable spots on the hinge end now. I cut about 6 inches of length off the bar, tapered the skin side to fit the skin close, and drilled a new mounting hole for the 1 through bolt to the latch end.
