Default A few little bits

So finally have got back into doing some work on the carrier this week, knocked out these shutter knob assys on the lathe in my lunch breaks at work this week, didnt bother to make it so the knobs screwed on just welded them in place. Made easier as I had one to copy and Colin's posts a while back to motivate me into getting onto the task.

Default onto the fuel tanks

sealed the fuel tanks today, used POR 15 and it appears to have done a nice job, although when it was still a bit cold it didnt want to move about, lucky it got to 36 degrees today, time to go fishing I think. Brackets came up alright as well.

Hi Lew, good job. I see by looking at your parts there is little to no difference between Aust and NZ carriers.
Colin.
