Nothing spectacular, but I fitted the rear back door frame to the car properly by fitting the upper cant rails to the uprights for a good fit and then drilling and screwing them together. The bottom was clamped in place and drilled with the long drill loaned to me by my colleague so that a 1/4 inch coach bolt could be fitted trough the assembly and a washer and ny-lock nut installed on the inside against the steel cross member which the drill had passed through. Now all is very sturdy. The speedometer was installed in the dash making it all look very smart.
The next thing I have to do is to apply wood preservative to all the wood before it gets installed permanently.
I was successful in getting the Lucas vacuum wiper to work finally. In my case the leather discs were not pre-shaped as per the instructions of the You Tube video on the subject. They worked better for me in a flat state rather than a preformed cup. I did lubricate the leather with Neets foot oil as suggested on this forum.
Thank you all for your input in solving issues.
