Default work on the LH side plate

Commenced work on the LH side tool panel of the hull. Marked out the position on the hull side and removed the 2 broken brackets that once apon a time held vehicle tools and ground off the old welds.
Also heated and removed a broken stud on the side tool plate, it eventually came out by cutting a slot in it and unscrewing it. 1 more broken stud that would not come out with heat or persuasion. That one will wait for later, may replace the mounting block.
Found 2 salvaged and blasted brackets from my parts supply and welded them in place, on the hull.
Not much time to work on it this weekend.
Replaced the little bracket that secures the jack handle to the side of the hull, made from 3mm steel cut at a friends place.
Also measured up the mounting blocks and numbers required to be replaced, will get new mounting blocks made in the next month.
