Rebuilding commences!
Not planning to do loads over Christmas even though I have some time off. Space is a limiting factor as every time I want to do something in my garage, I have to shifts stored stuff and move the shell on the jig.
I spent the morning searching through various boxes and tubs to sort out all the suspension nuts and bolts plus all the bits that I think I want either blasting or cleaning/plating.
Also started to put the rear beam back together although I may start again with some new/plated stub axle bolts:
I have found I am missing the correct rear ARB nut, bolt and washer as mine had been fitted with twin ARBs so a longer bolt so will need to source a replacement. Also trying to decide the best way to re-finish the brake servo as I have never fully dismantled one before.
Not much has happened over Christmas and New Year as expected. I took the drum backplates off and put the correct ones on (I had two pairs refurbished and didn't realise they were different - good spot Lee V) so I am more or less as I was. Ordered new handbrake cables, found a coach bolt for the handbrake equaliser but still after some bolts and nuts for the ARB. Once the cables arrive and I get some ARB bolts, I should be able to complete the beam as its all here and ready bar making brake lines.
Managed to get a pretty perfect carpet set including the boot - only needed a vacuum, some foam cleaner and a light wash. Happy days!
Im in tears here!!...... this thread has made me feel all warm inside!
