Only two working days this week owing to other commitments.  All the threaded studs in the cab floor mounts have been die-nut (1/4″ BSF) cleaned ready for reinstallation of the cab floor.  1/4″ UNF screws have been ordered for the clamp plate (rubber gasket around gear lever and steering column) for the forward metal section of the cab floor.  The steel plate for the panel below the driver’s signalling window has arrived and a new panel fabricated using a carboard template made from the rotten original.  This has been  primed and painted and awaits fitting.  Also arrived are three faux leather universal gear lever gaiters, two for the brakes and one for the gear lever.  The O/S vacuum actuator has had the end cap removed for inspection and the adjuster nut removed from the operatind rod which is slightly bent.
