    Are you going to preserve them so that the next owner, who may be a military vehicle enthusiast, can restore the vehicle to its origins? (particularly in Kiwi land)

    I know that when the SIII and SIIa FFR came out of service all the specialist radio and power distribution parts were usually removed and disposed of. 20 or 30 years later finding the parts for a full restoration can be a long and frustrating task.

    i.e. In a decade of looking I have never found one of the rectifier units that sat behind the grill of the SII 24V FFW.

    What did I do? Yesterday 50-422 got a bath and baby oil, complete clean out/vacuum and damp dusting. In the afternoon complete with the green radios and full compliment of antennae had pride of place escorting some of our Club's armoured vehicles to ANZAC Day parade and service at Glenorie.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I will be buried in my truck

    I might offer them up to another enthusiast to enjoy, but they certainly won't be binned!

    I had a Sals with a leaking pinion and the problem was a scored shaft. Took it to a diff specialist and they repaired the pinion with a speedy sleeve type process and reassembled the diff in less than a day.

    Would have to look for an invoice, but IIRC the price wasn't too bad. Pretty sure it was less than $200 for parts and labour and worthwhile for peace of mind. (You don't get out of anywhere for less than $100)

    I haven't got the time to arrange that and I live a long way from the nearest specialist. I have located a new seal, with luck and a couple of mechanic mates I might get it satisfactory for the 4 dag trip over the dargo high plains, and do a proper job on my return.

    Option two is top it up with oil regularly.

    Take some spare oil with you and deal with it when you get back.

    Wow, that's really good!
    That's about 1/5th of what I was expecting it to be.
