Marked holes and drilled the steel work for the entrance step bay so that it can be bolted back to the body frame.   Did a trial fit to establish the correct position for the step frame so that the grab rails will be in the right position.  It is clear that the steps need to be face with lino so some will have to be sourced.

The frame needs to sit in the bay with the top stop approximately 8″ below the top of the bay.

Removed the new floor boards and left them to soak in preservative for a bit so they can be painted when I return to work next Thursday.

I painted the steel floor plate today with grey as per the body frame on the top and silver Hammerite underneath.  As this is galvanised as well it should last the thirty years I need it to.

Ordered the cork lino for the floor today.
