I've cracked it today.  Yesterday I spent boring out the butts and 
fitting the new hammers and today I have made the necessary repairs 
to the rail.  I'll do the drilling later in the week when I have 
received some new mini-chucks from America (very cheap on eBay and 
they look ideal).

Here's the write-up of the job so far with pictures:
