then i moved onto putting the top rails onto the side armour so more drilling required... i had pre drilled the armour from a plan i had from a pal..so offered the rail up to the inside then clamped it down and drilled through
i sat for ages looking at close ups of the rails on Mk1* carriers and noticed they have been moved inside and out over the years....flush with the top of the armour....slightly lower than the top of the armour.... so after an hour of Vol.1 i bit the bullet and went flush...on the inside.
whislt there i could not resist popping Bens pintle onto the side
finally to finish the day i welded in the angle bar that runs over the centre bulkhead behind the drivers head....it has been offered up for ages but not welded in.... i still need to drill the holes for it though.
