There were still plenty of bits to go on with whilst waiting for the sandblaster to get his gear repaired.
The armoured roof was next to be dis-assembled. This is quite a heavy bit of ¼” armour plate which hinges in the middle and then folds back out of the way.
Pulling this handle releases the two latches at each side to allow the whole thing to lift back.
There are hinges, latches, pivot arms and plenty of other fittings including the earthing straps every where.
Not all the nuts came undone, but I was pretty lucky.
The latches were rusted solid and I had to get new springs made after pulling the whole thing apart.
