The last few days have been all about making the timbers for the wheelarch framing. I have now managed to assemble the forward half of the wheelarch frame, including a new steel flitch plate, and have finally aligned the lower perimeter rails with the rear of the bus so the sides will be straight as Weymann intended.
The rear half of the wheelarch cannot be assembled until I have replaced the lower half of the first side rod behind the wheel opening.
