Spent an afternoon adjusting the shell fixtures and fitting
the top, Austin badge and the support brackets.

Several of the holes in the shell were closed up slightly due to
the extra copper and nickel so had to be carefully filed
to make clearance for the fasteners.

I refitted the original aluminium Austin lettering and also
the stamped nickel radiator badge.

Surprisingly I only discovered today that the headlamp mounting holes
Weren’t  level! These photos were taken before I adjusted the holes!!

So had to level these mounting holes by adding 1/4”
Up to one and 1/4” down to the other. There’s pressed brass shrouds which
Will easily cover this adjustment and the headlamp stalks.

The stalks themselves will need wedges to make the lamps point forward
and I’ve cut these from a heavy steel tube Neil kindly bored out for me on
his lathe.

Won’t be long till the radiator is on the car!!

Hope to get the exhaust fabrication finished tomorrow too.
