Work continued on from  where I stopped last week, with preparing the reamaining three droplight frames for new glass.  I decided I would prime the parts for painting before applying silver hammerite as I found that without it scratches too easily.   The painting was finished by Friday.  A new corner bracket had to be made for one of the lower horizontal pieces and most of the side pieces  needed to be reriveted.  After this was completed I turned my attention to the cab vaentilator, stripping the paint of it and cleaning the mesh grill.  The ventilator turned out to be mad eof brass.  There were a few dents in the opening flap which I was able to ease out a bit.

Not much achieved this week as I have been tending to the MW.  I did manage to dismantle and dechrome two of the tree remaining droplights, in preparation for new glass.  Enjoyed a good day out in the MW on Sunday the 31st March.

Completed the first window pan acceptably after much difficulty and dissatisfaction, though it will need a lot of cosmetic work later.   This was then fitted to the bus, a job which took two of us so Anne assisted but only took a few minutes.   Started on the second, though not really satisified with the felt for vertical runner for window 1 but the felt is difficult to remove.  Started to assemble the next half-drop window, only to discover the half drop pain is so badly scratched it needs replacing, as do the other two which will inevitably delay the window fitting.    I removed the bottom horizontal part of the droplight frame by drilling out the rivets then removed the pane in once piece.   No more work this week as I had to attend to the thermostat on the MW.
