 Work on rebuilding the Morris Commercial cab subframe.

The rot under the floor is extensive, reconstruction is necessary so the cab can be securely mounted.

Ian Carpenter an amazing engineer on the GWSR fabricated a sheet metal trough section from estimated dimesions, and it fits.

The profile to fit snugly along the rear of the cab will be ground to fit.
