Still haven’t fitted the wood screws through the reinforcing plates on the outer pillar, must do that tomorrow!

I fitted up the inner pillar today, this really took all day as I had to make several trial fittings with the boot doors in place,  This necessitated  drilling the hinge mounting holes clear for 2BA temporary screws, then rehanging the doors.  Hopefully a good fit will be the final result.

I made up a couple of blocks of Iroko as distance pieces and to repair a missing piece of the perimeter rail before screwing and gluing the pillar into place.  I need to make up another distance piece tomorrow but otherwise the next step is to make the small pieces of wood that the door abuts on the pillar.

Inner pillar fixed and ready for finishing
