Can someone please help draft this part, I've tried every order I can think of drafting before and after... the fillets or pattern fails, I am so very stuck. Can someone tell me the correct method/order. (solidworks 2013)

Sometimes you just have to do things the hard way. You almost certainly want to draft before you fillet. If the fillet pattern fails, it's time to do them one at a time. It's a small model. You'll survive.
 
Thanks, think I've sorted it, had to use a feature split rather than just the split faces, added draft, then combine, then vertical fillets then the lower perimeter fillet..
 
Good on ya! Never let the how keep you from the what.
