    Today I only did one thing on the Perentie, finally acquired and fitted the battery slides for the 24V radio batteries.

    Tomorrow I'll go down to the auto parts store and find a dual battery isolator. The plan is to run only two batteries for the green radios in the LHS battery box and then run a single 12V secondary battery (off the vehicle cranking battery) in the RHS box. Hope I can re-use the original cables in the RHS box to connect to the isolator relay by re-routing them.

    In relation to the rear disks.
    The bracket in the image above reminds me of the bracket fitted to the early rear disk Defenders, before they were welded on. These used 2 pot callipers.

    What about acquiring a set of disks off one of the RFSV rear axles from Graysonline/AFM auctions? You may have to recondition or replace the callipers and rotors but it will be a direct bolt on conversion.

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

    Changed front uni joints today.
    fixed the steering wobble, downshift problems, downshift squeaking, rattles, and power issues all in one go.

    Rears were ok, and just given new grease.

    looks like a had standard duty gkn uni joints, now have the heavy duty jobs with bigger pin rollers.

    Looks like it died from a blocked grease nipple.

    Looking good! I'd say just go for it, I'm looking forward to seeing the complete vehicle.

    Yesterday I replaced the shoes; it now adjusts fine and no more spongey pedal. I went for a spin to bed the drums in, but when I got back one side was noticeably warmer than the other. Backed the adjustment off a fraction more on that side and now it's all good; just a little bit warm both sides after a normal drive and wheels spin freely when jacked up.

    In preparation for the fearsome Sunshine Coast winter (I've heard they're predicting it will be on a Wednesday this year ), I slipped the now half Olive Drab'd roof back on. I'll miss the wind in my hair, but not the spiderwebs.
