Just realised there are still two holes up near the bow that need to be sorted before a lake test is a good idea. Could just tape over, but really the job needs doing...
So the dock lights need to be fully fitted.
I have a couple of the Cap Marquettes dock lights kindly sent over by UKMike. I'm going to modify them a shade, but use them as a basis.
The inside of the dock lights need to be white, so will be painted as they're currently chrome. Then I'm going to thin the original flanges, cut some acetate sheet to seal the units, and then finish with the Amati supplied flanges. And finish with 1.2mm Stainless screws. Same as exhausts.
Made a start today by creating a basic rig to hold the units so I can work on them. Here's the start point.
So above are the original flanges that need thinning, and below are the Amati flanges that will be polished up and will take the screws.
Will update when they're further along.
David.
