Done about 2000 or so miles on this alternator and pulley so far.

Is the cardboard there to stop pirates boarding ?

And yes, how will I find it for a nice cuppa tea at 0100..

And .. hmm .. the colour scheme seems a bit...familiar..

 

Went to fill up.. put in exactly 45.5L after 230 miles. A nice round 23MPG... so thats what happens when the fastest it is driven all week is 55 mph to get round the hesitant Skoda on the M27 on slip...

 

As in ... used to be a delivery van in Medellin... ?

Seriously though, its nice to change it in recognition of all the work you had to put in to get it to the point of painting it.

 

On Thursday I sorted the ‘loose’ radio issue due to the hole being cut too large by a previous owner.
I couldn’t tighten the tangs on the plate.


So a section of metal was cut, shaped and sprayed







After which is was bonded in place with JB Weld ensuring the radio plate would be a snug fit



The tabs bent over brilliantly and it held solid



So the radio no longer moves about when travelling



All the way to Camper Calling the radio held solid leaving me the weekend to socialise with @Bernard Fishtrousers

Great work with the radio

Does @Bernard Fishtrousers really exist ??
I had him down as someone's alter ego....

Rebuilt part of the rear cupboard.
From this


To this, just got to varnish it now.

 

Tidy-up day on the van.

Wrestled to get a new rubber bellows for the fresh air flaps in (the previous quality rubber one fell to pieces). What a faff.

Moved my gauges up onto the dash, now I'm no longer frightened to look at them.



On @Dubs advice, fitted a CSP rear gear coupler. Rock solid, recommended

 

BTW the way @Dubs -ster, I did have to ream the big hole out to 15mm. CSP put far too much paint on.

 

They are great aren't they. I should point out that I am in no way affiliated with CSP, although if they would like to put me on commission, that would be great. Thanks

 

They've just been on the phone. Will you accept payment in bratwurst?

 

Your just not pushing hard enough... they go straight on for me. Must be all that Tofu and vegan Quiche leaving you with muscle wasting..

 

I would prefer lederhosen.

 

They do Lederhosen machined from solid billet. Quite hard to move around in.

 

Nope. Measured up. I had to remove a mighty 0.2 of a mm, then it slipped on right lovely.

 

Where can you get these Snotty? The one I bought from Schofields is shocking.

 

Was out till about 4pm but had to do a few more bits.
Front hubs, discs & calipers on both sides.
Steering box on.
Rear brake balance thingy on.
Horn on.
Drivers door now stripped of glass, rubbers, locks and quarter light.
