Wink 8th KLR Irish shoulder title - may I?

Hi all,

Picked up a T 8 IRISH part of a T 8 IRISH KING'S shoulder title (Westlake 821) and have married up with a seperate KING'S title. The IRISH is slightly smaller font but am sure they were made up from the same composite parts. Could I get away with not brazing but just placing alongside as per the pic. Presume lugs were same orientation on the complete title.

Too good not to try and marry them, cheers Dean.

Dean,

Examples exist with both wide and narrow "KING`S" ( as they do for all the Kings Territorial titles ) as in the attached, the example with "LIVERPOOL" in place of Kings is the only example I have ever come across.

Thanks Peter,

Good to see the different patterns. I have never seen a King's or a Liverpool before now.

Cheers Dean
