Long day.
Made the rear chassis mounting plates for the supports.
Then made some “fish mouth” or whatever you call them, joins.
Mocked up.
Chassis mounting plates welded on the braces.
Mounted in the cab, roll hoop in place, on its base plates……
For the anal amongst us, zoom in, knock yourself out.
Carrying on, later, around 5.00pm John the lodger joined me, both to help and give advice.
Then Mickey came around.
They sat chatting, discussing South London, where they both grew up, a lifetime ago.
Mickey had to point out the joins being very good.
A load of preparation and grinding to make the joins work.
Lots of tacking in place, removing and stick welding.
Getting there, bit by bit.
.
Happy
Done.
Paint in the morning.
FIA approved………
Cheese and crackers for dinner.
A serious rum, after a tall beer.
Tired tonight.
Rewarded
Bootfair in the morning, if I wake in time..
