OK back on topic
I forgot to say to attach the panel I first cut some bits of angle iron and welded them on to the frame, and then drilled and tapped them to take screws
Then finally once everything fitted OK I sprayed the panel and the roller bracket
Really chuffed with this - seen something similar on the mega-bucks garage fittings you can buy
