One of the things I did not think out was... |
|
|
|
...how I was going to get the fwd cradle supports back in the frame. |
|
|
|
After failing on a few different ideas I ending up using the winch strap to the aft cradle support. |
|
|
|
This worked but it was scary. |

The burnt bush. So I'm busy welding and look down to see a small bit of leaves smoldering, so I go back to welding. |
|
|
|
And when I look, I now see the whole bush is blazing away. A couple of buckets of water and all was fine. And I did not hear voices from the bush. |

|
|
Yes it is way up there. |
