Work continued on from  where I stopped last week, with preparing the remaining three droplight frames for new glass.  I decided I would prime the parts for painting before applying silver hammerite as I found that without it scratches too easily.   The painting was finished by Friday.  A new corner bracket had to be made for one of the lower horizontal pieces and most of the side pieces  needed to be reriveted.  After this was completed I turned my attention to the cab ventilator, stripping the paint of it and cleaning the mesh grill.  The ventilator turned out to be mad eof brass.  There were a few dents in the opening flap which I was able to ease out a bit.
