We have opened the cleaned parts for assembley of the moving detector frames. We appear to have everything we require. 

Standoffs - 12 M3x35 bolts, Many M3 washers, Many M3 nuts, 16 standoff tubes. 

Heatshield - 46 M2 nuts, 46 M2x20 bolts, 16 M2 washers

Strain reliefs - 20 M4x35 bolts, Many M4 washers. 

Strain relief supports - 30 M4x10 hex head bolts, Many M4 washers

Clamp - 2 M6x10 bolts 

Upon attempting to assemble standoffs M3 bolts became stuck and could not be removed. A similar issue occurred with the MACOR assembley a few weeks ago. The detector frames have been given to Omer along with a diagram of the correct hole sizes to check and re-drill holes if neccessary. Frames will then be cleaned. We expect to get them back tomorrow to continue assembley.

Bolt hole sizes were checked and appear to be correct, no re-drilling required. Detector frames cleaned after stuck bolts were removed. Holes were checked again using M3 and M4 bolts, none became stuck. The heatshields, strain supports and clamp were assembled on the frames. Remaining pieces and bolts are accounted for and can be assembled when required.
