Thread: Stuee's 101 Rebuild

I painted to battery box out in tar paint and drilled a few extra drain holes to prevent any corrosion of the alloy.
The space behind the drivers seat and the spare wheel I store the special jumper leads with anderson plug and the air line and air chuck for tyres and I reach in and access this by opening the spare tyre door from the outside of the vehicle.

I currently still running a bar tread as a spare..........I have not worked out away to get the wide muddies in and out easily using the standard spare wheel set up.

Thanks for the pics and info Ron. The more I get into the wiring the more I'm finding to do. As I'm starting to lay things out I'm finding additional bodywork that needs to be completed so I can run cables, extra bits and pieces I need to buy to complete the wiring etc. My decision to buy a fuse panel that's remotely located has introduced its own challenges as I cant simply copy the original layout due to the increased wiring so I have to think very carefully about it all. Finding it all quite fun though.

Enjoying watching and learning Stu. Makes me want to strip mine down....(then I stop and think). Looks bloody great all the same.

I replaced my fuel filler hose last year. I kept the old one which is perished and has a rip but would be good to use as a template if you could find someone to copy it. May be easier (and cheaper?) than waiting for an original.

Drop me a PM if your interested and I'll send it over.

Thanks for the offer Sleepy. I've got a mangled hose but while the vehicle is stationary I can just fill the tank by tipping a jerry can at an awkward angle. Immersing myself in the electrics is making me forget all the parts problems atm so feeling quite good

Doesn't Anthony Johnson have one - I bought mine off him a while back - I cannot remember what it cost but was reasonable.

Small update, I've ordered a Zeus disc brake conversion kit as per the other thread and canned my order with the 101 club. When I get notification that the kit has been made I will order my bearings, seals and other items from a commercial entity (will try AJ first). I can now officially say I've been screwed by the parts ordering through the club, just glad they never took any of my money like others.

Jess and I had our engagement party over the weekend in our garden which ends about 6 straight weekends of working on the house After recovering from quite a significant hangover I'm looking forward to relaxing and doing some more work on the 101.

I think AJ sells a wheel hub kit which contains new lock tab for the bearing nuts, hub oil seal, flange gasket and new hub cap to go over the axle splines.

Lovely. I'll have to revisit my original order from to the 101 club, remove the brake bits and see what he can supply.

A post has just been put up on the 101 forum saying its a shame I cancelled because my order was about to be shipped...

Edit* Does AJ respond to emails or is he best to talk to over the phone. I've only ever spoken to him once before and that was about potentially obtaining a 101 that he was importing (before this one).
