Fitting headstocks

The two largest bells have been reunited with their refurbished headstocks.

This is the seventh bell which is still being held in its pit by 4 long 16mm diameter bolts and a steel grillage made out of second hand steel salvaged from the 1993 augmentation at Malvern Link. The bell was moved up to the correct height using the nuts and without the need for any overhead beams or lifting gear.

And this is the tenor which is sitting on steel box section on top of the frame. It now needs lowering into the frame.
