Further Progress is being made on 4561’s at Minehead
All of the 10mm holes that were laser cut in the inside platework have now been drilled through and transferred into the angle iron frame.
These holes in the frame have now all been drilled out to 10.3mm and tapped 12mm, to take the stainless steel bolts that will secure the inside platework in position.
Work has started started on drilling out the 10mm laser cut holes in the inside platework to 12.5mm to provide a clearance around the 12mm bolts, with approximately 60% holes enlarged so far.
As always a huge thank you to the "Tank Team"
