Work started this week with reinstallation of the wooden section of the cab floor and the steel sections around the gear stick and handbrake, along with the reinforcing bar angle that fits underneath and adds to the rigidity of the cab and strangth of the floor.  Also an addendum to the testing was the panel light wiring and the bulb holder itself which needed attention to the connections to make it work.  It has a new bulb fitted.  Screws for fitting it have been acquired, 6-32 UNC for the fitting and 4BA for the cable clips along with the missing 1/4″ screws for the cab floor.  The aluminium sheet needed for the remaining O/S outer panels arrived at the beginning of the week.

The woodwork for the bottom rail was cut, fitted and painted, the short section immediately under the first O/S window was made from the original long piece which was sufficiently good to use again with repair.  This has been primed and painted wood grey ready for the outer panelling to be cut and fitted.  This completes the repairs to the frame so a bit of a milestone this week.

Final job this week was preparing the wiring  ready for the panel lamp to be installed.
