Hi Nige. Sorry was away. Yes thats how it looked but with bigger (two) radios accross table, this setup looks like the 12v for radio with only the one arm mount on right side for aerial. 12v Batteries were in tandem in the back to make 24v and stored under the back as the picture shows, this was for the radio's. The 12v for the ignition/lights extra were under the middle seat which could be sat on. The cables shown to go to the front were for the booster box's( aerial's) on the right and left mudguards, this to boost the signal. There were four batteries under the box as shown in the drawing. Some had only the right mounting arm for radio aerial as shown with out the booster box on the fenders. Hope this helps.

Hi Foxy Will make a decision on the possible radio gear later and will make it as an add on after I get the basic Landy done. A few days back I was attempting to add some more details to the engine and was distracted by having to deal with a minor dispute between the girls. Having dealt with the matter in my usual no nonsense manner "GO TO BED !!!!! ", I turned back to the dining table and stumbled. In the process I got my balance by placing my hand on the table and snapped the start of the front, nearside wing off. I was not totally happy with the wings anyway, so it forced me to cut these section off both sides and start again. Having looked at the photos I realized that I needed to form indents for the lower door hinges I drilled a starter hole and filed the rectangles out of each side piece. Then added a backing plate and rounded off using liquid glue to soften the the sharp edges. This is what I am trying to achieve with a busy engine bay And after a some interrupted play at the dining table, this is as far as I have got on the replacement wings. Another job I did was to add the brackets to the rear cross member that the rear tub will be bolted to. This also gives the correct ride height for the body shell. Gonna see if I can get some more done tonight. Nige

Been busy with work, kids and the dear wife !!!!!! Little bit of fixing carried out to the wings and a little trimming back of the nose of the bonnet as I realized that I had too much overhang at the front. Much happier with the sit of the bonnet now And much happier having fixed the sides where the door hinges will be secured. Engine placed for show with new wings Engine, clutch, gearbox and transfer case Nige

Thanks Foxy for looking in on the build. Hope you and everyone else looking in have not gone to sleep waiting on the next instalment. Added some pipes to the brake master cylinder Air filter housing and the first part of the flexi hose that will eventually get linked to an carburator and engine manifold on the opposite side of the engine Distributer cap and leads Starter motor fixed to the cylinder head cover Where the engine bay is at the moment Nige
