Battery box developments: 08/03/15

With 1321's moment in the spotlight still fresh in our minds, our focus once again returns to 2599, with Gary and Paul paying a visit to the bus on 8 March to put in a bit more work on the battery box area.

Having removed the former corroded battery divider (no longer required), Gary set to work cutting the metal to size and riveting this over the hole left by the former divider, before coating the metal in a protective lacquer to prevent battery acid seeping through. All that remains now is to finish off sanding the wood down to the correct size to fill the hole where the battery access panel used to be and finally apply the lino over this before our attention can return to an area that has been a lot of work over the space of ten months...2599's rear brakes.
