We have been busy fabricating the original style seat fixing brackets and this has allowed a trial refitting of the RTW seat frames. We have also made an interesting discovery - the seat backs from a Routemaster will (with a slight modification) fit RTW seat frames. RTW335 returned from Germany without seat frames, so the use of standard RM/RML backs will save having to fabricate from scratch.Other progress includes removal of the front and rear domes - which are both badly dented and not fit for re-use. A local company will make new, using sister bus RTW467 as a template.
Fabrication of new window pans is in progress and the re-fitting of these will make a great visual appearance to RTW335's extensive restoration.
