Not  much visible progress this week, due to having a bad cold.  I have ordered the steel for the remaining window frames and arranged to collect the moquette from my brother.  Heard from Ifor Evans that the driver’s seat will be ready next week.  I cut out the former for the larger window from 1 inch block and finished it on the sander then cut out some holes for clamping the material.  Shot myself in the foot by not thinking about the smaller window and will no doubt end up having to cut a new former for that.  I then turned my attention to wiring and fitting the indicator switch in the cab, during which I was able to amend the wiring diagram I had prepared earlier.  In preparation for fastening the wiring to the frame in the cab, I repainted the cab grab handles to tidy them up as it will be difficult to do so after the wiring is installed.  Last small jobs were electrical, running the three-core cable for the indicators up from the terminal strip behind the front wheel into the cab.
