Finally, the work can begin..
I'll be arriving in Halifax late tomorrow and will do a survey of Ojibwa Friday AM. Looks as if I'll have enough help, thanks to our old shipmates. These British bolts need some specialty tools, because the Brits, being an insular culture, have their special way of doing things and it will be hard to find a nut or bolt that can be handled with tools from the local Canadian Tire. Fortunately there are some British car nuts in North America, and having owned a vintage jaguar and a few British motorcycles at various points in my life, I was able to find a source for Whitworth spanners and Posidrive Screwdrivers. If you are wondering what I'm talking about just google "whitworth" or "British Fasteners" on Wikipedia.
Stay tuned as I will be posting pics and videos as the next week unfolds
Cheers
