Just what I was looking for...
Robin,
Fantastic, that's very helpful. Since I last posted I have had a go at an 800/825 full length pattern. I have been working from a fairly poor frontal picture of an 825 bumper so I just guessed about the double rivet sections. My pattern appears to be a reasonable match for the 825 bumper in your pictures which does not have the Hoover logo. That's interesting as the picture I have been working on has one with a logo. However they are both very different from the actual 800 bumper. I'll have to make another pattern for that one.
Have a look at the pictures, they show the four patterns I have made so far, in picture one from top to bottom: 400 series, "Thick line" early Hoover logo for model 105-543, "Thin line" for 725-750 and the 825 section. I have not fitted logo's to any of them yet as they're not finish varnished. It'll be the new year before I can get to work on the 800 version.
Thanks again, would appreciate your (or anyone else's) thoughts on accuracy.
