Started the week by trial fitting the cab door window after epoxying the bottom glass channel after the welds broke last week. The glue used is a particularly strong variety and should hold, especially as the window is a tight fit in the door. It needs to come out, though as various minor issues raised their heads. Retrurned then to the rear brakes, and it is clear that there is something wrong in the assembly of the N/S rear brake as it is unable to return to rest as it should. Investigation continues.

started the week by preparing the MW for Berden, then working on the stuck pin by the N/S rear adjuster but twisted my back in the process so that put a halt to that for now. Work resumed with the cab window, a tricky and time consuming job. A problem occured with the welds on the bottom channel which I think will fix adequately with strong chinese epoxy. Otherwise the window is ready for tape removal and fitting, assuming the correct screws are available, MW preparation for Berden Fete then ensued, so all work ceased temporarily.

Started the week working on the MW’s rear axle oil seals. I can see lots of places where axle oil could have seeped out, as it’s all so worn in there, but am proceeding slowly by cleaning everything down and renewing gaskets where appropriate. I did have another go at painting the top bar of the cab window, still not perfect so I may try once more time. I cut the bases for the battery boxes, A simple job that was more trouble than expected, then started on the sides. Not much progress this week due to other commitments, although Geoff Brown messaged to say the front wing parts were ready, so collecting that will be one of the first jobs next week.
