Default clearing sale

Took Friday off so that I could attend a clearing sale and picked up some military items and a BGC rear stowage box (second from left in pic). I think it is NOS and when I got it back to the car found that it was full of V8 crab distributors. I also picked up a 1941 US musette bag, with the details of a RAAF Flt/Lt who was in a Transport Sqn as part of the BCOF in Japan. Will have to do some research on him to find out more.

I also picked up some imperial rod that I will utilise for the rods and linkages in the hull. The BGC parts list is quite detailed and gives all the specs etc to fabricate some of these items.
I made the 1/4" accelerator linkage rods and fitted the yokes to the engine bay rod. Will have to make 2 yokes for the rod in the front compartment.

Ran the engine some more over the weekend and fitted the choke/throttle cable bracket to the back of the carby.

Cleaned the gear box top and undercoated it.
