Other things on today - the 'boat shed' (aka spray booth) has been prepared for a concreate base but we have been delayed a couple of times for weather - this morning it was all go.
The guys and ready-mix lorry arrived,
and they worked hard distributing the 3 cubic meters of concreate, then floating it, and returning later in the day to kelly float it. Now is it a good reference level surface. Just need to keep the dog from digging for a few days ;-)
I did manage to extract the inlet duct from the POP mould, but it required breaking the mould which was disappointing.
Then I cleco'd it to the plenum, this should help it cure in the right shape.
Looks promising, just the outboard edge of the forward ring that isn't quite aligned - about 1/8" too far inboard - probably good enough however for the rubber transition.
