I have some lead that I need to replace due to it being damaged. It is very similar to this picture
except that its straight and not on a fancy building like that. From what I see the lead with the upturn is joined by folding (am I right in it being a welt?) It also has a piece of lead in the folded part which is screwed down. Question is ...... how do I fold the lead and make the upturn bit? From the old bit is seems to be 2 inch folded over 1 inch and folded again. do I fold this on a flat sheet and then bend an upturn and slide it place, how would I the get the other bit of lead in(the bit that is screwed down). I could leave it out but I like to do a proper job and the puzzle has become an obsession!
Thanks
