So is it alright, on this evidence, for me to drive over to work on the restoration of my truck then? I thought we were supposed to stay at home and only leave the house for a limited number of essential purposes.
My bad, haven’t mastered the technicalities of using an iPad yet, but the wording does seem rather final , as does the title you have given to your screen print.
Thanks John, it is but a small part of a 15cwt Bedford MWR radio truck restoration….
Another tip, if, when the project is up and running, you want to remove plating from nuts and bolts….use Sainsbury’s power limescale toilet cleaner, which removes it in about 15 minutes!
without seeking to hijack this thread, this is a contemporary 19 set I have similarly restored. Data plates were sprayed with Halfords satin black automotive paint. when dry, I filled in the lettering with a white ACRYLIC model paint. When that was dry I used ACRYLIC thinner on a cotton bud to remove excess. The acrylic thinners do not affect the underlying satin black paint
You could also try the WWII Wireless Society Facebook Page or VMARS.
So presumably the Night Fright team were dealing with two film crews at the same time – the Warbird Restoration and Guy Martin crews. Must have been quite a commitment.
Those clips almost look like the old style of jubilee clips made of wire with a wing nut instead of slotted head screw to tighten up and with some way of mounting to the frame added.
Would it be possible to reform a larger clip into a figure of eight in some way, perhaps with the aid of some heat, and add a variable size collar from some rolled spring steel (from a old saw perhaps) to go under the wire circles.
One day perhaps?
