I'll drill the mounting holes in the straps & the filler holes for the lead shot, (mustn't forget those!), once everything's welded up. That should be the very last bit of fabrication work done then. While it's all being coated I can get on with flatting back the lacquer on the cab & cutting & polishing it.

I don't know who's sadder -me for writing it all or you lot for reading it Took the weight tube to the welding shop this morning. The shop manager there's a lovely guy but just can't get his head around the oddball stuff I turn up with. I mark everything with Tippex pen so he knows exactly what needs welding where & try to explain what it's for, but I can see he just doesn't "get" it. Once the Pop's done I've got a long list of people who've worked on it that I need to show it to. Maybe I'll take a week off work & do a tour of them all |
