This week I have been tidying up the cab ready for reinstalling the floor.  I painted the pedals and the handbrake lever and touched up the silver on the chassis to hide the drips from painting the cab.  I made and fitted the rubber seal for the handbrake lever, one side to the metal section and the other to the hinged wooden floor section, using the replacement clamp plates I made previously.  I fitted the gear lever gaiter to the floor section as well.  I need to eliminate the horrid bracket that is holding the fuel pipes and also realign the starter motor cables so they will fit in the floor rebate and not stress the motor terminals.  As a change of routine I made two of the remaining three vertical side rods for the offside frame.
