Once the paint was almost touch dry, headlights went on, as did the upper mudguard bracket that sits under nose panel. I also did a very brief trial fitment of the bonnet late this afternoon. As usual, it fits in a way that touches a number of areas where it shouldn't! It also will require addition of a shim under each hinge attachment point. Here we go again!!!!

Now that I have a new vacuum, i'm back in the business of blasting my own smaller parts again. Started with the accelerator pedal and associated hardware. These are now painted (black) and drying for fitting on Sunday.
TAC sign for nose.jpg
I have been stuffing around with ways of spraying the TAC sign onto the nose panel. A lot of unusual ways have been suggested. Hair spray has been rumoured to have sufficient 'stick' to hold the stencil in place. It doesn't work. I tried using a paper glue stick around the edges. This works but can bleed through the edges and spoil the edges.

Tomorrow I go into town and buy a pack of A4 size labels, which I will print a copy of the TAC sign onto. Then the white bit gets cut out and the remainder gets put on the nose for spraying straight through. No problem, simple, unless the label sticks No........it won't......will it?!?!? We will know by end of Sunday.

Tomorrow is a 'CMP free' day. Next SitRep Sunday. The vehicle serial numbers might be on then too.
