Saturdays child is slack and didn't do a massive amount.
I did finish painting the lamp brackets I had made.





Then fitted the front end under carriage back on.





I fitted up the gearbox brace.





The gearbox sits on the front brace and the bolts stop it moving up or down.
They also seemed to stop any sideways movement,
but I wanted to be sure the box couldn't move at all,
so I added a bar across behind the brace that is bolted to the end lug of the box.
This locks the box from any sideways deflection completely.

I may still build a box section unit that takes in where both braces are. Something that could hold the box in place if the engine was lifted out on it's own. I just need a bit of time to sit and design it.
