James, Richard, the wind chill is about 45 coming from the north and I did have a few cold ones we are about to get the next 3-4 days of extremely hot above 40 out here but I will keep plodding along. The sealant Andrew was putting on the fuel tanks is aviation sealant my wife bring home from work when it's out of date to use on aircraft but still has lots of time left for ground use. The RAAF won't use any if it is even one day past its useby date. Bad for them
 great for me .I have been continuing on the back to get them both finished.

The wishbone shape part is for support for the crank handle. It swings down when required and the crank handle is inserted and I just happened to have an original crank handle as well
 . The other shaped part is for storage of a cammo net or tarp.

The press tooling I made is for the fuel tank cover. It has a dished recess for I assume a soft rubber compound to sit in under the lid. As I only need two of these I never put too much weld on them so I can easily disassemble and reuse the material again, much like most of my tooling. I will get them both completed within the next 2-3 days.

The rear plate has some holes that bolts go through and some are tapped. After spraying the parts today they were dry in about 30 seconds as it is pushing 43-44 degrees hear. Not so good working but great for painting.
