Work is progressing on the Weasel and John is on to rebuilding the sponsons. There are a dozen different sizes and types of hat channel section in a Weasel, and to speed things up for the June Swim-In we had a number of those folded up along with the sponson panels at a metal shop in Toowoomba.

The sponsons are being built as complete assemblies before being added to the hull. He's recovered some of the original seatbelt fittings (the Weasel had seatbelts fitted as standard) and seat-back catches from an old piece of hull. A small die was made to press new hold-down brackets. An original seat back (in arctic white) is in place to test alignment of the slots that were milled through the channels.
