Another relatively slow start to the week. Painted another coat of silver on the underside of the new O/S wing and around the aperture for the new battery trays. I also plugged all the screw holes for mounting the trays and covers. I should have done the rear two as well but forgot about them! Made a start on the control box, blowing as much dust off as possible then removed the top panel for cleaning and painting or polishing. I took out all of the screws,and with a bit of gentle persuasion it came off, having corroded slightly to the steel switch plate. I also primed then painted the side panel for the box with engine black, two coats, and put it to one side to cure properly. I next thoroughly cleaned the top panel and removed the blanking plates and plug, and the surround for the starter switch, (theses being pressed in) and painted it with hammerite. I have ordered an ammeter, as there appears to be provision for one and space on the large cover for it. I have also ordered a voltmeter for the top panel. I stripped the paint and rust from the large cover for the control box and spent some time adjusting it so it will fit properly. A coat of “number one rust beater” primer was next, followed by a coat of green Hammerite on the inside surface. I then had to make two sliders to replace the missing ones for the control box switches, the originals were 0.8mm nickel silver, so after a failed attempt in aluminium I used 0.75mm brass which worked well. Not a bad week’s progress, considering I lost two days work for other things.
