Another day with some great progress.   Even though Jim is away Ian came in the morning and spent time painting the underside of the canopy bends which are now looking good.  I carried on fitting the D end door.  This proved to be awkward as one of the rails on the bulkhead was out of square and couldn't be removed so I had to chisel out a channel in its underside.  This was in an awkward space but eventually got done.  The door then ran but was a little sticky.  However I was able to make and drill the axles for the split pins and get the door runners fully mounted.  Stephen then turned up and concentrated on getting the rebates for the seat rails cut in all the remaining screens.  Paul arrived after lunch and soon sorted out the sticky door so we were able to finish the D end door and this is what it now looks like.

The result is worth the effort.  

Stephen and I then started to fit the catenary rod on C side.  This is easier said than done as the holes only line up with a fully curved rod.  The rod was threaded through at B end, then all the fittings and brackets were threaded on it, after that we bent it enough to start if through its holes at D end before using straps to bend it into shape.  Then Paul made a brass tube to guide it through the various holes before we screwed the brackets into place on the monitors (the picture gallery explains it better).  Finally the brackets were screwed into place and the end nuts and their plates fitted.  The end result looked great. 

After that the last screen was reinstalled and both seat rails trial fitted.

All in all a very good day's progress.
