Progress part 1
Got my parts back from sandblasting. Floor plates don't look too bad with all the crap off them. Quite pronounced pitting in places, but most of it is beneath the seat locations and won't stick out badly. Underneath of the plates are nearly perfect.
As soon as I collected the bits from sandblaster, I headed to the local and well stocked nuts & bolts shop. I bought 40 of the correct profile bolts and nuts to suit. It's a shame I didn't count the holes before I went. I will actually need in excess of 60 for floor and fuel selector valve. Oh well, I won't get that far tomorrow anyway.
