There were some support brackets to make which I had to go and get the right size 40mm x 8mm. I did a couple of bends in the hand bender and then made a jig.

After I made the jig it was just a repetition to get them all the same. I used heat to get the last couple of bends, cut the excess by hand, welded the joint and ground them off inside and out. Test fit all OK.

Looking good Colin. I'm glad I got a look at them before you started. Helps to appreciate the effort you are putting into them. It's amazing just how much squaring up the box makes to the overall appearance.

Thanks Jack, there is a lot of work to do any of these as you certainly know.
I made some brackets that go on the mud guard. Not a important job but I just thought I might as well finish the guards totally.

The bracket are for shovel, crow bar, towing chain/Rope. Again time consuming things to do but how lucky am I to have them to copy.

I also cleaned up the other drivers hatch from the other tank so I can copy it for this one. I still have a couple of spring clamps to make but they are quite minor.
