Took contact with Mr. Mickos in Stockholm and he had some cushions for an Willys.
Made a tool that i could press the splash and after many trials I got and god result the remaining jobs is to press it in 90 degrees with an tall radius of¾”, I guess.
Enginework is proceding that two more pistons seams beginning to loos.
Got some intresting tip from Lorentsson in Lund that it is chance to get spareparts.
The woodframe is ready to cut from wood 1”x8” and glue it to better size and after a week I have beginning to make it fit together with the rearbody and the doors and torpedo.
