Primed the floor boards after they had been soaked in preservative for a couple of days then continued with fitting up the steps today, drilling mounting holes for the step support frame and getting everything lined up with the hand rails.  I drilled and countersunk some holes in the side sheets to screw them into the woodwork at the rearward end of the entrance, under the aluminium cladding.    I need to drill some more holes for the angle-iron frame and some to screw the side sheet to the forward door pillar.   Hopefully this will be completed tomorrow so step riser metal work can be manufactured and the whole lot sprayed with red oxide.
