Default TAC plate finished

FINALLY finished this bloody thing.

Put the grille temporarily (spelling??) onto cab this afternoon to protect it, after nearly having it 'cop a whack' from a falling piece of steel. Got motivated to move it quickly after that.

With all the stuffing around on the TAC plate, I decided to purchase a ready made bridge loading plate with an appropriate load rating. The seller in UK has NOS bridge plates (9") for 18 pounds, including the load stencil in a range of fonts to suit. Should be on its way to me Monday. The sample pic shows different font to one I have chosen. Should be able to make a suitable bracket for it and for TAC plate tomorrow, weather permitting (I only weld outside).

My radiator shrouds will checked tomorrow, to see which one is best to use. All have some form of cracking and/or panel damage. If my welder (and welding) was better, I might make one really good one from the three I have. No hope of that with current skill level though!
