Started to assemble the first of the two remaining droplight frames.  With the moquette from Matt and Steve we now have enough to get started on the seats.  Attempted to fit an assembled window pan, but it was too tight so had to relieve the forward pillar and grind down any protruding scew ends.  It did go in eventually but quite a tight fit.  I noticed that I had cut the rearmost edge a bit narrow so the beading has a bit of a gap to cover.  The final droplight also took several attempts to get to fit in line with the others but I got there eventually.  The poor quality of these frames will take a lot of cosmetic improvement, inside and out, including attention to the draft-excluder rubbers at the top of the windows.  However, it has to be said that the fitting of the final droplight is a milestone of sorts.  Final job of the week was measuring up the remains of the plain window on the offside, opposite the entrance door.
