I can't seem to find a picture of the MD Payne, MJ bridge.
Can anyone find me one?

I miss our dear friend Michael Payne and the many, many contributions that he made selflessly to this forum and it's members. Hope that Mike is doing great and would love to hear from him too.

I don't have any bridge pics for you, sorry... but what most did with Michael's excellent plans is use our own bridge designs. I believe that the bridge that he shows was his style and largely a placeholder with the idea that we would do what ever we wished in respect to bridge design.

Admittedly I've had a bad day, but are you looking for "as per plan" or pictures of different styles which people have fitted to one?

Yes I have the same specs/plan you posted but looking for a close up of an actual bridge because I don't understand
how those dotted lines translate in 3D

I have the same plans and wondered same thing. Now that I stop and look, it appears to me that they indicate chamfered edges transitioning to slopes.

And just plain old chamfered edges around the outside.

Yup, that's what I think too.
