Did you get any joy with your military replacement? Have the same problem but welded the original on.

Take it back and challenge the MOT. If they completed it themselves suggest all work is completed at their cost. If completed by a third party demand your money back and then report.:mad:

I'm ready for anything!:p

Having taken the full rear axle out yesterday I am now entering another bit of new territory for me in my quest for completion. I am assuming that this is a Salisbury as it matches other pictures I've seen. The outside is becoming nice and clean and shiny: but shiny doesn't make it work...

My chassis! With all the bits attached to it it looked fine. However, once bits are removed you can see a little closer and ................ This is the pile of dust removed from one of the outriggers! Removed the end section ready for replacement tomorrow. For those of you that...

Thanks for the help guys; my online ref. book strikes again! Had a really good day yesterday. Got my rear driver side springs back together and ready for storage. Started on the rear passenger side. Had real trouble freeing the nuts on the u bolts but lots of WD40, a...

OK. Makes sense. So..................... What would you suggest? Do I put my odd set back on or do I get another set to match my LH rear set?

How did you get them off?

So why do I have one different one? I've been reading about RH and LH being different otherwise the landy will tilt to one side. Mine tilts to the passenger side. maybe someone has muddled my springs??

Any help gratefully received....... My rear RH springs are fixed with bolts. But all the rest are fixed with bent metal strips. Is this normal? :confused:

Spring off! Axle looking clean. Clean drum. Primed one coat. Spring separated for cleansing. Rust removed, first primer coat applied. Ready for finishing tomorrow. Now to read up on how the brakes work!!!

Went for it today to try and find my way around the suspension. Shackle bit removed. Bolt removed from shock. Very corroded rear of cylinder. Gradually coming off. Very stubborn brake drum! End bit of axle removed and cleaned. Other...

Not much further progress despite the weather! Managed by raise the funds to replace the headlights by selling my maltese cross grill on ebay. Now looking to strip out axles/diffs etc. Where do I start? Is there an easy order in which to do things rather than the "which nut is loosest"...

I can now get to axles, wheels etc. Completely new territory for me! Any advice?

Decided to glam up my bumperettes!

Looking at the seat box. I'm not sure what fittings I should have for the seats. I have one removable frame which sits on sliders and another fixed frame but nothing in the middle. I have two fuel tanks which need to be accessible under the seats and a tool box in the middle. What seat fittings...

Update time. After getting the tub off it exposed other stuff to do and motivated me to do some of the bits that have been hanging around for weeks. Stripped the bonnet back to metal, new rivets and three coats of primer Then two coats of bronze green Coming up OK so far...

All I managed was clearing the garage to let me get into it! Had another go at getting the fuel tanks off. Still can't shift one of the rear bolts, I can't get to it. Any suggestions!

Just come across the catalogue from Frost Restorers Equipment. A real goldmine. And they are online too.

Make a deal with Evil for his cab and I'd take the roof and side panels off you for a fair price.........
