Today I finished machining and polishing the replacement bezel for the entrance door handle.  This will be sent off for chroming at some point along with all the other door furniture.

Other work completed since the last entry:   the third droplight was  installed, then the  fourth droplight was assembled and installed and finally the plain square window (opposite the emergency door) has been reglazed using the rubber supplied by AM Silicones.   This leaves just the rounded window at the rear to be assembled and fitted then the nearside will be ready for beading.   All the steel window frames are painted and then treated with waxoyl on the inside before installation; the plain square window has been treated and should be ready for installation tomorrow when the waxoyl has set.

Owing to the extremely hot weather (37C yesterday and 40C today in the garden) little has been achieved apart from stripping paint from some of the panels that will need to be replaced as part of the entrance vestibule refurbishment.  This included the surrounding  inner panels for the forward large window and the beading and side panels adjacent to the the entrance door.  I noted that the door hinge is chrome but has been overpainted with black paint which is easily removed.
