Michael,
Could you confirm that "the rails were also cut shorter by about 3-4 cm where they joined the cantle plate."
I believe your Ottusi saddle frame is actually the lower profile B.17 saddle frame. Does your saddle frame have the typical Brooks Patent arc-welded joining of the rail to the cantle plate? Rail bulges out to donut shape just before it enters the hole in the cantle plate.
Did your Ottusi copies that you made turn out to your satisfaction?
Anyone else have Ottusi info to share?
