Sunshine & Showers...
Got some etch primer on the inside of the battery cut off switch panel.
- I know the welding along the edges looks poor, but it was hard to get the welding touch in.
- The good news is that the puddle welding went much better and really holds its in place.



Then I cleaned up the bulkhead where the battery box is going to go.



Drilled some holes in the battery box for puddle welding and slotted it into place.



Decided it was best to weld it into position starting at the front.



This allowed me to clamp / hammer the rear panel to match the slope of the bulkhead.



Then I could hammer the sides of the battery box to join the inside edges of the bulkhead.

I still need to come back and finish the welding as the clouds had gathered and I had to pack up for the day.
( Both the weather and other chores got in the way today. )





But even at this stage, the whole thing is rock solid.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
