Thanks for the encouragement on my 'return'.
Flitch Panel.
Do I (really) have to extend that piece of metal shown on the left, that extends downwards above the patch, or just weld in a length of curved metal to butts up against and welded to the vertical face.
I'm wondering if that lap patch that I removed, displaying the rust that such 'repairs' encourage, was to do with the near rotted away section of the Mud Shield, ditto the OS but that has gaping holes in the panel, in order to get them to lign up properly.
Slowly slowly to get brain & body used to working together again.
Geoff - Never though I would ever be saying that!
MacPro on strike so having to do individual photos per post using iPad. (PITA)
Flitch Panen:
Lap patch removed to reveal good metal apart from a few areas of rust depressions, but none so bad as to make me want to replace sections.
Lap patch removed revealing the rust it was hiding, plus the remains of what I think went all the way to the A-post.
'Scuttle' slipped in somehow.
Fan on so feeling cooler.
Geoff - Is it just me or is it hot and humid?
