Wednesday 19th - The Wednesday few
These days we are thin on the ground on Wednesdays, however with Rex,Gerry and Bryan working on 4798 windows, John and myself set about end steps for the MICA van.
We decided the best way was to heat the cut plates and use the hand press, I am just trying the measurements here. It went very well ......
There are 12 steps, i.e. 6 at each end ..... this is the second batch, and a bit too hot to handle.
John is cleaning them up after plasma cutting.
Number 1 is loosely bolted into position to check levels etc. Just another 11 to go and then they will be painted.
Our weekly visit to upholstery, with the DFR latest batch being complete they are busy now continuing with 4798 seat set......
Something a bit different for Bob this week, assisting Stuart with brake parts repair for 1672 .....
Stuart with a brake chamber repair .....
...... All hands to the pump with Ken also involved.
A bit of gentle persuasion .......
Success with the vacuum gauge confirming the result.
Ainsley working on a 4798 step......
Trevor on the same vehicle making door adjustments ......
ReplyDeleteWill the steps for the MICA van be strong enough without fillet pieces welded in to prevent them bending when weight is put upon them?
To be honest not really that keen on anyone trying to climb up the steps or pulling on the handrails once everything's fully installed, mainly being done for cosmetic purposes!
