Foot shell time

OK, set myself the new goal of being done by Halloween. At this point ,that basically means the foot shells, but that's going to be a pain because I can't get them mounted properly.

Experimenting with the front one now, thinking I might just use the temp wooden one I got for rolling around with pre-shell, but I can't work a bolt up into the hole because the shell is in the way. So for now, I'm taking some wire and "sewing" it in, thus:

It works OK for now; we'll see if it's a viable long-term solution (spoiler alert: nope, it wasn't).
