The last couple of days were spent continuing the reconstruction of the wheelarch frame. First, I completed all the sections to make up the repair for the lower siderod aft of the wheelarch. The following day I fitted the side rod vertical aft of the wheelarch which required a lap joint with the good part of the original side rod. Then I was able start to build the wheelarch timbering down to the side rod, which took quite a lot of trial fitting and adjustment using the wheelarch moulding to ensure the final shape was correct. Almost all the parts have been made and assembly should be completed tomorrow.
The completed the NSR wheelarch timbering , which job included shaping the aft vertical.
