Side rod brackets have been painted and fitted.  The lower side rod extensions have been drilled, painted and fitted.  Worked then turned to preparations for fitting the wiring conduit from the cab to the boot.   This included cleaning the chassis under the cab floor and prining ready for silver.  Drilling the rear bulkhead in the area of the lower electrical cubicle cover and fitting with the gland to accept the conduit.  The chassis from the main brake servo back to just in front of the rear axle has been cleaned and rust beater applied, ready for a coat of red oxide in the coming week.  The terminal box for the boot electrics has been sourced and work started on mounting the lid and the screw terminal strip.
