It is part of the gas tank strap the egg shaped pieces on the right are fuel drain patches for the hull floor and the square piece on the left is a fuel tank hold down bracket.

The square angled piece on the sheet metal deck is the bracket to hold the jack block. The exhuast covers are supposed to be like that. One is solid since the tarp sits on it a bit. Underneath the sheet metal is asbestos. The other is just open mesh style since no tarp.

... they always look better in the pictures, they do, really.
I haven't been home to see my K-38 yet either, but I know it is at the farm in one piece. Gordon

right job done !! i feel drained with the stress, we had a drop of 12" between the container and the recovery truck so we had to relocate...... managed to pull her out what a S*** Heap was mentioned by many, they just cant see what i can, found some bits more worse than i expected but also found 99% of the linkages in workable condition so happy days ! the cover off the cam plate has disintergrated and is knackered so i will try my best to peice the bits back together and make a pattern for those that want them. managed to free up 90% of the seized track with a couple of "Wollops" with the hammer, going to strip them into sections and stack them up.
a few pics to follow in due course, but a cup of tea is in order about now Rich
