This week 3rd January 2010
This week Ian, Glen and I continued rivetting up the driver's cab side.
We mounted the two window frames and got all the 1/4" and 3/8" countersunk rivets put in. We had had some problems with distortion when we rivetted the fireman's cab side window frames, so we fitted some temporary bracing to hold the plate flat. It seemed to do the trick.
Next job is to grind all the countersunk heads flush with the plating.
