I think you may be right, Bob... and also... could it be... the prototype fuel tank strap? That's really special and should perhaps be in a museum!

We have a forecast temp range of 12-28C with a late shower today.

Bob don't you recognise a borrowed doning room chair when you see it? Is it early for snow in your area? The heat came early here and the grases flowered too early for hay and the creeks are down to late January flows already. This Blitz rebuilding is fun and frustrating at the same time. My Blitz will not be finished too the high Hammond standard, I just want a more presentable useful truck when I finish.

I had a short day but managed to cut new washers out of conveyer belt and remount transfur case to chassis. It's a great feeling to be building again at last

It is indeed a good feeling to be putting things back on!

Incidentally I have some NOS fibre washers for the transfer case for you for next time.
