John has fitted a door as well and fabricated new tilt bows as well but has yet to post the details of those, (although I was sure we did....)

I'm also waiting a new batch of SCC.2 Brown from my local auto colour matcher, its low on his priorities but he's a nice old chap and has a good eye and works just over the road from where I do, so i'll just have to keep prodding him.

hopefully things might start happening again, Shed leave tickets seem hard to come by these days. .

Need to get down to johns. and measure things up so Mr Brown of PegasusDrive can crack on with the canvas

Time to get back on the Tilly and get it finished and on the road.
First job was to assemble another three piece door. This one needed the top hinge plate reattached as the cage plate(?) had rusted away.

Doors done and hung. alignment is very accurate although it did require a bit of Porta Power use to move the cab here and there to provide sufficient gap.
Rear tilt bows have also been formed up and fitted.

With the engine and drive train fitted and a test run we need the radiator fitted so we can run the engine longer. This is what we have as the best example of a radiator support bracket.

Nothing to do but have a go at making some new ones.
Another job for my go to tool stock- scrap railway line. Forming the top hat section is simple enough.

The trickier bit was to get 90 degree bends in the ends of the top hat.
I already had a strong tool made up for previous job so I added some guides into it.

The bends could not have worked better. Now just to trim down to size and weld in the mounting plates and bolts.

Jack

Great stuff

The ordinary punter would just have pounded the plate over the edge of an anvil and taken hours to straighten it all out. Really professional work.
