Hello everybody,
the first prototype is always the most difficult, but fortunately there is
Learning by doing, and since I've meanwhile drilled me in this
Mini-puzzle, the second plate was much easier to handle, so I can be brief, especially since the images are self-explanatory.
And with that, the two smaller
Transportation Support Plates are now complete and can be put aside for the time being.
This brings me to the two
larger Support plates, whose
Clevis brackets are unfortunately not the same size,
as one can see here.

But in the meantime I've been on the lookout for suitable
Evergreen profiles and have actually found some.
For the upper part of the left bracket I can use the left
Evergreen strip (0,38 mm x 2,5 mm), from which I only have to cut off 2 mm long pieces. And under these comes a strip of the right
Evergreen strip (0,38 mm x 2,0 mm), which is to file to a width of 1,8 mm and to cut to 2,5 mm long pieces.
The two
narrower brackets are already finished and only need to be glued to the plates.
So much for the preparation.
