That is a very good buy - good luck with that one. =D> =D>
ok made some progress today
None of the holes where in the right Location so I had to decide where I needed to cut it.
The mitre track dips and the right hand side is flush with my cast iron if I cut off 6 Inched from the left hand side. If i Dint have a slider it would work better as built for an american style saw and for some reason they like to put the fence both sides of the blade.

the square fence has tapped holes i don't fancy having to tap the thin gauged box steel so I will mark where the holes need to be on the angle iron so the box fence can be flush with the left hand side and not get in the way of my sliding carriage
Sorry I don't know how people talk, then put in a picture, talk a bit more then the next picture. So have just put in headings if someone wants to inform me how to improve my whip writing skills please feel free
the fence is rock solid and another hour or 5 should have it fully modified and never coming off again
can't see a way of removing the wooden panels on the fence. was going to try replace it with a new one with some t track so I could use a short fence when I need it. any ideas ??

It is quite easy to mix text and images.
***
All you do is type some text then drop down to the next line and add your image.
***
If you put an image in a line by itself then it comes out nicely.
***
Things start getting messy when an image link is added on the same line as text like this ***
Spacing the image link across the page will also affect where the image appears which can look better.
***
*** (Maybe not on an iPad, but the tab key on a pc will)
Putting a a vertical space between image links and text will also result in a space between the images and text on the page.
I hope that's right :roll:
Edit . . . I originally used image links but they didn't appear in the post so I've replaced them with ***

Have a look up inside the bottom of the fence. You might see some nuts that you can access with a spanner to remove the faces
Personally I wouldn't bother. Make a second short fence that sits over your log one and clams in place, then you can use the long fence for sheet worka nd the short one for ripping. Quick and easy.

ok well Finished my fence install today.
Steve no bolts underneath I think they must have laminated over the bolts during manufacture. Will do your Idea of a u shaped fence that will drop ontop for my short fence. Thanks for the advice.
Cut off the same amount on the back rail from the slider side so its exactly flush with my cast iron top
I needed to move all the holes for the box iron to attach because in their original position it got in the way of my slider by 2 inches :/ so I used a story stick marked the hole locations and then transferred them onto the angle iron

After having them nicely marked I needed to center punch it and drill them.
I was then able to bolt on the box iron in the right place to support my fence to do this I put a 18 mm thick piece of timber in the cap and clamped it to the table to keep it consistent
I tightened one of them too much and threaded it :/ and i needed to put a new hole in the left hand end. so i tapped to m8.8 holes and they worked a treat.
