so this week i have been off and spent the most if it fettling the landy . firstly to ampshire!! to safari engineering to pick up the leaf springs, and the elusive lhd swivelhub arm...plus a webber carb to help with the fuel economy..
on return i fitted the swivelhub arm and oops spot the wally !!, it turns the wrong way ...
parrently the worm gear in the steering box is handed and were using a rhd box!.
so on monday off to the local bearmach suppliers , and after a couple of phone calls and an email or two we now have a brilliant and generous new sponsor, swansea 4x4 centre..
they have given us six tyres and the corretly handed worm drive for the steering ....
so the fettling continues, and i would have prefered it to be drier but the weather being as predictable as a punch up in swansea on a saturday night has tried its best to stop us..
first order was to fit the springs , the rears went on a doddle, the front a tad more dodgy !!! dunno why its only meccano..
still only one spring left to fit and tis done!!
stay tuned folks for the next enthralling installment of rust wars , a challenge too far !!!
