A few more things done today.
Finalised the brake pupe and clipped it on the chassis with some neat little p-clips, drilled and tapped the chassis for 2ba screws for the clips, and sheathed any potential rub points with a bit of plastic tube. No more brake pipe until the bulkhead with the master cylinder is on!
The fun and games today have been swapping the bottom damper mounts over from one to the other.
The shaft for the damper on the new chassis are quite thin from rust, while those on the old Landy are quite good, despite everything else being crusty!
Managed to swap the rears over, but what a ball ache to undo the u-bolt nuts on the old one! And then the damned axle dropped right off, and it was a sod to get everythjng back up and tightened to be safe again. In the end I only managed the two rears.
In the process, the very manky exhaust tailpipe fell off and bust up my shin - picking up a 2nd hand one tomorrow though so I can bin the crusty one.
No pics today, just aching and sore - need to get fit again!
Off out shooting soon though, hope I don't fall asleep and miss the bunnies!
