well finally got the compressor up and running....Mark came around and was the block man.. we managed to get one side of the carrier buttoned up in a few hours.
as promised i took a video of us setting a rivet for you to laugh at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKBXa...UbW9bax7fk3uPL ![]() ![]() a quick question... the drivers side armour... the longer rifle rest, are the two middle holes riveted or bolted ? i have rivetted the outer ones but left the middle... can anyone advise ? ![]() well more riveting to come as and when a block man is available

the reason i ask is i think there is a bracket which holds the actuator cable for the smoke discharger which runs under the angle.

looked today for you and it is for sure complete rivetted.
when there is a bracket for the cable i think it is mounted with the same bolt who keeps the wood in place. |

oosh.. that was close nearly banged a couple of rivets in... was just firing up the burner and logged on... thanks Kevin... the outside of the bolts are they just standard jobbies or are they the usual countersunk dome head slot drive affair ?
