Mixed Monday - Part 2:
The other day I realised that I had forgotten to make some "big washers" for the bonnet straps.
But before I started on those, all the ends of the leather straps needed a small trim, as they were a
tad too long.
Which meant that the end cover could not sit flush over the leather below.
I just used a pair of scissors to reshape the ends.
So now the cover sits flush.
I will be making the washers out of a couple of my old steel fixing brackets.
( And using the leather off cuts that came with the straps as a guide to where the holes need to be. )
But before I got to work on those I wanted to do some work on the bonnet/body shell extension.
So I covered up the end of the car and un-peeled the front.
At which point the first few drops of rain arrived.
So the covers went back on and I then had to rush to the back garden to rescue the morning's laundry.
It has been "misting" on and off every since, so I'm not sure if I'll get any more done today.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
