My metal fab guy called me tonight and said the battery box body is done and ready for pickup. Sounds like he was able to nail the dimensions down perfectly. I will be picking this up tommorow. I will also be media blasting the original sides when I'm there.
I started the repair of the Allertor screen/ threaded boss holder. When Mike at WSS separated the horn from the elbow, a few of the 50 year old aluminum nut-serts were frozen, and the bolts either broke or seized and spun the nut-sert in the steel ring of the screen. Not his fault, comes with the territory. I had to slightly deform the screen to get it out of the projector elbow. I was able to successfully straighten the ring back out no problem
This morning before work I cut the remnants of the bolts and nut-serts out and started welding flanged nuts in place. After this is done I will re-mount in the elbow and then I will be able to finalize the installation of the projector horn.
I also was able to sand the runs out of the lower rotator cover and re-spray. May be able to mount this part tommorow morning.
