El Presidente stumbled out of bed after another gig and got to 53 about 11.30.He removed the last floor brace, cleaned up and rust treated the metal and gave it a first coat of primer.The other struts got their second coat and some of the bolts got cleaned up. Bad news was that as I tried to get a screw out of one of the step plates it broke into 3, but i think this is repairable. it was the one that came with 53 and closer inspection revealed a rusty fracture line. These were recycled and this could date back much earlier then 1936! I also did some comparison shots with the new items to give you an idea of where they go.I am now cream crackered and a bath awaits......
