Hi Matt, keep up the good work on your new carrier and welcome to the forum
 I'll have to post some pics of the Acco. I just didn't think that is very interesting for the watchers  and say hello to Christine from the family. When are you coming back to Oz  I did achieve a bit today but had to stop early to make meatballs'n'tomato sauce for tea(Yuuuumm)  Most of the mounting blocks werepretty ordinary so I decided to remove all of them from the floor and replace with nice newies and also put some new sleel in the hole in the floor.

The piece is all welded in place and just waiting for the grinder. The firewall was all but gone at the bottom which is very common for these machines that have been left outside all those years but it's no good looking at it as they just don't repair themselves.
(unfortunately)

All done and that's a bit of a hassle to do. Having the hull on it's side does make it easier though. I also had to machine up the steering pivot bracket as it also had the same fate as the mounting blocks.

I managed to find half a day today so I got all the mounting blocks welded in place and made a few more. The scrap steel photo's are just to say that it does pay to keep all sorts of pieces and not throw them away. They can all be resurrected in one form or another.

I also had to remake the foot rest and the centre plate support as the photo shows they were 95% gone. I do have another carrier to copy from!
