But first, might as well paint some stuff green and let it dry while working on the brace!! Action shot of Damian shaking the spray paint (is that a euphemism?) courtesy of the lovely Tricia!
Damian was joking that he always worries that when he opens the roller door a snake might fall onto him that was lying on top of the roller... Instead, when he closed the roller door (to keep the paint out of the shed), THIS was waiting for him!!
Outside painting the rooftop pod...
Painting, painting, painting...
Damian in a cloud of green paint... Maybe a mask was in order?
Whoa... shiny!!
The cross brace... looking pretty.
The underside...
And angle grinder cutting it into three pieces!!
The engine bay...
Looks a bit like a samurai warrior helmet, or maybe a space invader!!
First, remove the claxton and musical air horns...
Next, sit the three pieces of the brace in place... looks like it will be pretty close!!
Next up... removing the old brace...
Very careful and gentle cutting of the top mount...
And through!!
The bottom end of the brace was easier, and voila!! Is gone!!
Yep, there it is... pretty flimsy looking piece of metal, really!!
Bolting the bottom piece in place...
Uh oh... At this point, Damian thought "OMG... what have I done!!"
Houston... we have a problem!! For those who can't see - the issue is that the two pieces, while being fairly much in line with each other, have about a 5cm gap vertically...
This is going to need input from Angus!!
