seat brackets and a swap meet
Spent a couple of hours with the oxy heating up and dismantling the brackets for the seat bases and the floor mounts. A couple of brackets broke and will need some repair work to get them back to a satisfactory and useable standard.
Sunday I went to the Jindera Swap Meet (just north of Albury NSW), planned on taking the Command Car to the swap (just for a drive to get it out of the workshop) but the truck would not start (could have been a bit cold).
So I took a normal car and arrived in half the time and still able to feel my fingers, the swap was a bit disappointing. The only thing military were some 1950s wooden .303 ammo boxes, a couple of large flat galvanised ammo boxes and 2 Ford blitz truck manuals. I ended up buying a tapping handle as the one that I had broke a couple of years ago.
I did notice that the price of an egg & bacon sandwich has gone up while the amount of bacon has decreased significantly!
