 We use WhatsApp to keep in touch across the metalwork team, before we arrived at Winchcombe we knew we would be 3 of the team down, however our reduced number did not slow progress. You may remember last week we had major problems with a doorfit on 13326. Trevor from the doorfit team arrived and a plan was agreed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The first hole was drilled and a temporary bolt fitted …..<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 We fit thick steel blocks to attach the hinges to, The centre hinge is anchored so now we aligned the bottom hinge and here Trevor is tapping a hole into the block behind the outer skin, the vertical Z section forms the line from top to bottom.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

With all three hinges anchored it was now time to slam the door, being at the other end of the workshop I heard that familiar but reassuring bang as the door closed perfectly ……<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Steve is keeping a safe distance but is pointing out the welding flash, I was attaching a number of plates and brackets.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
