Door Pin Covers, Part II

We worked on the door covers some more today, and should be ready to pot them in tomorrow. I also put the cylinder band heaters on the cylinders (which went pretty well aside from #3 which really didn’t want to wrap around). I’ll put the sump heater on tomorrow. We also covered all of the […]
