My last post was 1st November 2021, it seems such an age away. Since then the under frame was stripped of all of the brake gear. I did some blacking of the brake gear together with the springs, W irons and some other bits and pieces. I think that my reasoning was something to do with the painting but, I can't for the life of me remember why .
The under frame is now up on it's feet and tomorrow, if the garden doesn't beckon, I'll start fitting the brakes et al.
The 14 BA nuts that are holding the W irons in place have been blackened but the screws haven't. I also set a washer behind the nuts in case, when doing them up, they marked the paintwork. The later is a gloss finish with a top coat of matt varnish.
