Refitted drive dogs, painted shock absorber lever arms and prepared “AEC” hub badges for painting using Jenolite as an etch primer..

Mostly painting road wheel hubs and drive hubs today.  Applied the blue enamel to the AEC badges for the drive hubs.

Whilst waiting for paint to dry,  carried on attempting to remove the waist rail lower beading – some progress.  The upper rail beading seems to be willing to just pull off, probably as a result of the rot in the window pans allowing water down into the woodwork.  No doubt more horrors to be found once that and the panels are all removed.
