After getting the rear of the tub prepped I turned to the front.
There's an opening forward of the footwell for cable glands that
needed a bolt on cover. Finding a piece of Carbon plate here is
easy. So many bits of off cut that if they were copper I'd be rich.
The stuff is so expensive I can't bring myself to throw away the
scrap but it comes in handy.
I masked off the plate and marked for drilling. First hole was hand held
and once I got the first rusty Cleco in place the rest was easy.
My poor old Clecos sat on a job out in the rain for two months.
They live in a coffee jar filled with thinner. Epoxy has a thing for clogging up
Clecos.
Tomorrow I'll ream out the holes and bond in threaded bushings.
Then maybe I'll be able to paint.
