Work under L516 is continuing with the fit up of a battery box. Measurements were taken to ensure correct clearances are achieved.
The battery box frame was assembled under the car however a few problems were encountered.
The battery box we are using was originally from a different carriage and it appears that Richie Brothers used a slightly different mounting arangement.
At the other end Scott, Dave and Patrick were preparing to assemble the belt driven generator.
The brackets are cleaned before mounting.
The support bracket is assembled under the car.
The generator is hung ready to be connected up to the wiring.
Graham continues priming and painting fittings for battery boxes.

The guards area in the HKB is also progressing. This week we assembled a surround for the hand brake wheel. The original was missing and a new one was sourced.
The hand brake wheel will be mounted soon.
Meanwhile Steve continued scraping back and sanding the ceiling boards ready for painting. This is a long and tedious job.
