There are a few wing stays that bolt to the chassis aswell, I took mine off, an# the filler pipe to the tank along with the wires from the back lights.

What's up with the paint from paddocks? People on here have used it with good results, the soda blaster is a bit pricey for a one off but the other stuff looks ok. Etch primer?? Never used it before, can you roll it on? And where is best to get it from?

Do you fancy parting with it???

What's the plastic sheeting for? Is it to stop the stripper drying out?

After loads of welding and still more to do (rain stopped play) I have been looking at some other bits. Eg the wiper motors and instrument panel, and I have come up with the same old story dogey wiring. After consluting the green bible I have found that there should be no wiper switch so how...

I am not sure what its called, but if you sit in the cab and look at the wiper motor there is a alloy lever handle on the end of the wiper shaft that moves the wiper blade well one is missing so the wiper will not move when on.

The handle on the inside that fits on the end of the main shaft, and locks into the other moving part on the outside of the motor

Ok I need some odd bits that fear I will not get hold of. The first bits are the wiper splines that bolt to the ends of the Lucas shafts as both bolts are sheard off, I also need one main shaft handle or locking what ever it is that fits on the end of the main shaft inside the cab, can anyone...

I will be using the paint from paddocks, as far as I know its an enamel system but all the panels will get degresed first anyway.

Do you mean a wire brush fitting for a grinder? I did see a paint removal disc in b&q looked like a ridged coarse scotch pad but I don't know what they are like

I looked into that, but I am not sure if it will damage the aluminum??

I used a random orbital with 60 grit discs and it won't touch it, I sanded the side of one wing for over an hour and it still needs more. I have worked in grp as a bath finisher some years ago so know about sanding grades and prep, but what ever this paint is its hard as hell

Ok I need some advice on the best way to prep my series for paint. The welding is nearly done after two weeks soild, and after looking at the body work to see what's what the last owner has painted all the galv capping black, and the body work has been brush painted. I think its enamel paint as...

Has anyone got a scrap Lucas wiper motor, one of mine is missing the arm that fits to the end of the wiper arm shaft and I can not get one from any where. Help

Top man, cheers

What black base did you use??

Sorry to jump in, but what is the make up for the paint from paddocks?? It gives no details on the site apart from brush or spray on. What is the drying time of it and is it oil based or what?? Have any of you used it as much info would be good.

Today I replaced the drivers side door pillar and bulk head corner, the foot well I did the other day, so one side of the bulk head is complete the other side is not as bad. Looking at the doors I am not sure if they can be repaired or not?? The main frame is rotten on both the curved sections...

Yes the bottoms are ok, one just needs plating on the top thats all. I have read 90truckcabs thread but he shows before then after and not the middle bit:D From what i have seen the door pillar has a small flange at the top the allows the bulk head corner to sit flush and then the captive nut...

Ok i need some advice before the grinder comes out:D After having a good look over my series 2a i have found some good bodge jobs have been done on both of the doors, passenger side has been bolted all the way though into the footwell and the top of the pillar is goosed, the drivers side the...
