I got as far as riveting in the friction material and red-oxiding the new fan when i was struck down with a mystery illness around the 25th November and so far it has escaped diagnosis. In between I injured my left forefinger so work stopped for a couple of weeks then . Work restarted when my finger was partially recovered with the spraying of silver paint on the chassis and works under the cab floor.
Then I got ill, so all work has stopped for now.
