A key job is to make sure that the cab roof fits properly. At the front and back, the roof is bolted to the cab frames. On the sides, the roof is bolted to the top cab window runner. First we fitted the cab runners to the side sheets using templates to ensure that they were set at the right height. You can see the brass window runners on the left and right of the photo above the window openings. Today's job was to refit the roof which is in 2 halves. Here, Steve, Roger and Jim are using a podger to get the holes lined up so they can get a bolt in. Next week, we will start fitting temporary bolts, starting at the centre, to bolt the roof to the front and back frames. We will then be able to start drilling the bolt holes to fasten the sides of the roof to the window runners. |
