Awning

I had a request for info on the awning. Well, it's an Omnistor 5000 series, 3m long, which was very generously donated by a friend. It's not exactly designed to be fitted to a 101, so I bought the most basic bracket available for it, then Rob welded three plates onto the rollcage. The middle one (shown) is welded to the cage and the bracket, but the front and rear are just welded onto the cage, which isn't a hugely strong joint, but the weight'll be carried on the middle one.

Astute readers may notice that I've not quite got round to painting the brackets yet. Well, I have to take it off first, which is a 2-person job!

You can see the overall effect here. It's pretty huge, which I think will be a real bonus.
