Driving home from a successful MOT and I noticed a slight screech coming from I think a gearbox but only when off load. Just done a full rebuild but the boxes only had an oil change - it’s been standing since 2008. It sounds like it could be a bush spinning. Any ideas where I should start...

Finished both the upper hinges for ‘project cat-flap’. They were quite tricky to make (for me) so I’ve posted some pics of how I did it. The original hinges are made from 1.25” x 0.25” but it’s much easier to get hold of 30mm x 6mm so this is what I’ve based these around.

Made a hinge bracket.

Finished one door. The door card is pretty shot, especially along the bottom where the door frame had rotted. I glassed the insides where they’d cracked and they’ll have to do for now. The doors are certainly improved from before.

And that’s the real issue isn’t it. If something did happen, you want your insurance to make it as right again as possible. But when it’s your valuing something that open to interpretation it’s tricky. I got some quotes and told them £10k and they didn’t ask for any evidence at all which...

Hi Doctor. Which am I looking for - good question Either and both I suppose - if a member has previous experience of this and found a third party with credentials I suppose that would be ideal. Alternatively if there’s anyone with genuine market experience who could value based on the current...

Hi all. Just completing my 110 restoration and want to get agreed value insurance. At the moment I’m just telling the insurers £10k to get some quotes, but what’s it really worth? I know everyone is always asking what’s it worth cos they want to sell it, but I don’t, I just need a proper...

Got the lock mechanism from Albert Jagger this morning so did some work on the cat flap. Made and welded a bracket for the lock, and drilled all the holes for the handle. Added the rod supports at either side if the frame. Random fasteners at the moment and the handle fixing bolts need...

Hung a door. Yippee.

Finally painted the doors after much delay and prevarication. Get them fitted and maybe go for the first MOT since 2008.

Hi. Interested in the box. I looked on their site and they only go recon boxes it seems. Was this a recon or new please?

Thanks for all the tips @gstuart - my LR is a very early 110 and the bottoms and sides of the cards are screwed into the frames with the plugs in the original post, hence the number required. @JUKE179r thanks for the link - Mike is very helpful but the video is sadly not applicable in this...

They’re the ones thanks @gstuart £1.39 each!! I need probably 20 or so. Let’s hope I can find them cheaper than that. Cheers.

Does anyone know the part number or spec of the nut inserts on the bottom of the door frames for the door cards? It’s a 1986 110 and I cannot find them listed anywhere. Cheers

Just put the skin back on one of the repaired door frames. First time, and felt quite traumatic :-) Still, think it’s gone ok.

I gave my second hand folding side steps some much needed TLC today, plus I visited Lynall and took some measurements of his cat flap for my project. He didn’t feel a thing!

Made a little blanking plate to cover the old radio hole until I can decide what needs to go in it.

They have a great inventory. Thanks for the tip. I think I’ll be going to them for the lock mechanism rather than knocking something up myself. Cheers.

I’ll look them up - thanks. This is what I’m looking at at the moment.

It’ll have a T-Handle like on a series. It will operate two horizontal rods that will cam into brackets in the side panels to lock. I’m also hoping to incorporate an internal handle as well.
