For the first time in a couple of years, the 7th bell is no longer sitting in a cradle made of off-cuts of steel salvaged from Malvern Link bell frame when I helped augment them back in 1993!
The bell is now sitting properly on its bed plates with the top half of the wheel in place.
The next job is to offer up the bottom of the wheel, and bolt it all together. Once it is all perfectly in line with the pulley (as checked with a plumb line) the bed plates will be coach-screwed to the frame.
After refitting the slider, and a few more minor tweaks, this bell will be finished and it will be on to the next one!
