Here are some photos of my lower hull ready for enamel in the morning . Do other carriers have this texture finish to their armor plate ? looks like wood grain .. Dale

Can some one tell me if this is the way to go ? The old leather seals are worn out with a 1 mm gap around them . I could only get modern seals is this the way to go ? also are these the correct way around

Two of the U66 are bent what the best way to bend them back flat .. Dale

Hi Dale, correct.

Dale, Does the 1mm gap indicate that there is excessive play in the bearings?

............ or that the leather had dried out and shrunk?

Just the leather has shrunk and dried out , in the old metal seal you can see day light all the way around I don't think it would hold grease and stop dirt . Lynn bearing are ok . Dale
