My brass wire/rod came today (oh what a boon!) along with some parts from welsh dragon. Norbert gets schumo tow shackles, new smoke launchers, PE grills and an S hook for the tow ropes. I also ordered a new set of headlights as I'd slightly melted the last set :S
The wire allowed me to complete the jack block clamping mechanism (fully functional) and the fire
extinguisher. I also started wiring up the headlights!
Yes the flap is fully working!!
In situ:
The jack block holder, catch fully working
