Which Whippen?

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Keith,
When another wippen will not fit exactly you can sometimes avoid making one
from scratch by adapting one that is close. Location of the holes, length of
wippen, hight etc, can be altered to match the original close enough to get
by.
Something like being a plastic surgeon <G>
