Inner wing support brackets...

On each side of the turret are two inner wing support brackets which is the main course of the rusting around the turret, front and rear inner flitch panels and the inner wing. I'm waiting for a delivery a inner wing for another supplier (6-8 weeks) so I made up some new support brackets.

Using one I managed to get off – I cut out some templates from card. With my disc cutter I cut them out of 18 gauge. Then folded and spot welded the two sections together and a coat of zinc primer to finish.

These brackets will need plenty of protection when refitting to ensure no rusting again - well in my life time anyway!
