Kit 3: Nuts and bolts on the tender water tank Empty Kit 3: Nuts and bolts on the tender water tank

Being a late developer, I have just resumed work on the tender of my SRL(S) - aided by some bad weather and a heater in the workshop. One point to bear in mind is that all of the fixings that originate in the tender water space would have studs / bolts fixed to the tender body with nuts on the outside: at least for components such as the inspection cover and brake cross shaft bearings, which may require easy removal (the Ex Mayor photos show this).

For neatness, it is tempting to but the bolt heads on the outside with nuts internally, but this means that the wet side of the bolt will rust and would be difficult to remove. I don't think that the instructions indicate what is correct in this matter.

Just an observation for the obsessive compulsives amongst you.
