Great work. I don't suppose you have drawings of the cab components?

My radiators have cast iron top and bottom tanks so have not suffered in the same way. Your core looks to be in very good condition so it is a case of either finding replacement tanks or getting new ones cast using the oldies as patterns (allowing for shinkage).

Thanks Lynn,its a slow process but it is moving,I have just cut timber for nearside corner, then I will feel the cab is more than 50% done!I have also just reworked a new air tank,which was rusted thru, normal work just keeps getting in the way.

Great work Scott.

These AEC cabs are a work of art and are never straight forward.

Good luck with it all.
