Finishing Off Seat Bases

The Seat bases / inner wheel arch tubs are now finished off and seam-sealed as appropriate.

The whole front under-seat cab section is now virtually complete.

Looking from where the wheel will be you can see the arch of the front chassis rail in the bottom right of the photo. The Front beam will be mounted here. You can see the frame liner going upwards from there where it meets the wheel arch tub.

Back section of the wheel housing area. You can see the bulkhead panel forms the back of the wheel housing section with the chassis frame line meeting it at 90-degrees.

Looking directly upwards, you can just see the edge of the outer front wheel arch framing the top edge of the photo. You can see the 'X' pattern pressing in the wheel housing (more details on this below).

Here you can see the wheel housing panel at the front of the wheel tub, here it comes down and meets the cab floor. To the left of the photo is the box section of the front outer wheel arch (this is actually made up of several sections).

The 'X' pressing was introduced on the Barndoor sometime between chassis numbers 20-04639 and 20-05385. It continued with this pressing upto 1955.

Here you can see the back of the wheel housing showing where the outer wheel arch meets the Bulkhead panel and the 'B' post where it comes down  to meet the chassis.
