Over the past
month or so I have resumed work on the FHC. With the bulk of the work being
done consisting of trawling through all the boxes with assorted parts I have acquired
over the years, and select the best ones for use on the FHC. So far it has
turned out to be rather time consuming, especially with the parts scattered
over three different locations! But getting there slowly but surely.
The parts
that will be powder coated are sorted now. Although I am still missing the
exhaust bracket that fits to the rear of the gearbox (UKC2499). Also the early
(Sprint) air box first needs a little bit of TLC before it's ready for its new
finish ...
Remains
the biggest lot, the parts that will be galvanised. Here I have still not
decided what to do, go for the more original approach and have them (gloss zinc)
galvanised in yellow or have them passivated in black like I used on the DHC
...
Luckily
there's still some time to go before I have to make that decision, and in the meantime
I can continue busying myself with the making of a stock list of all the parts
that need galvanising ...
... and carefully
capturing all sorted parts on camera. Not only for record's sake, but also to
help me with matching all parts together afterwards ...
