Info

We now have the hinges lined up and the door fits flush all around. The previous repairers had made up angle plates for the front edge of the door frame and we have found the original beading strips, drilled and riveted these back in place, thereby holding the angle plates in place. The angle plates for the rear of the door were in the large box of bits that came with the bus; these have been tidied up and put into place. The door catches and locking bar have been sorted and a section of checker plate has been cut and fitted to the step. The rear curved corner body panel was missing so a new one has been cut, curved and fitted and a new half round trim has been fitted. Offering up the two flat body panels across the rear caused a flurry of comments from the purists about the positioning of the number plate which the last repairer, a long time ago, fitted flush onto the panel at the top. Mac obtained a recessed panel which we fitted lower down so that the plate and lamp can be fitted in its original position. --------------------------------------------------- OBITUARY; The Group is saddened to report the death on 23 rd April of our member Bill Price of Llantwit Major.
