Yep I remember. Looks like it's supposed to be an upper seat belt mount.
I got stuck in to the bulkhead replacement this weekend, although only at weekend pace :D

SWMBO got involved for the big lift(s).

The bulkhead is mounted but I forgot to take a photo. The bolts slipped straight into place - first time I've had that happen - and the same number of packers under the forward chassis braces to set it up vertical. Good signs.
I tried to take a photo of the inside of the A pillar, it's spotless in there.

Next job is the loom transplant; my favourite part :angel: An hour every day before work should see the job done by next weekend, depending on how many things I decide to clean/paint/fiddle with along the way. I'm trying to keep those distractions to a minimum; this isn't going to be a concourse vehicle. I contemplated washing the red dirt off the gearbox, but why? It's just going to get replaced with new stuff :)
To others fitting a cab I recommend leaving the seatbelt mounts in place, as you can then change between cab and canvas. I have been running mine with the canvas for the last few weeks.Quote:

I recently replaced all the clutch hydraulics on 50-422 with new parts according to the RPS. The master cylinder shaft is adjusted right to the end and the system bled 3 times.
The problem is that the clutch only disengages about 2 inches from the floor, there are no other adjustments I could use.
What could be wrong?
One possibility is they have given you the wrong slave cylinder.
Finally got round to putting some new rims and tyres on the 6x6..16x8 rims with 265/75 muddies.. glad to get rid of the 750.16 Michelins..
Looks great! How does it drive with the new boots?Quote:

Along the way I managed to pick up a No5 trailer after a short ferry hop.
It towes like a ****ed off kangaroo when it's empty. Thinking tire pressure might get lowered.

finally got around to changing the steering box oil.
Well, changed the half that I could get out with my syringe + irrigation hose suction setup. Got about 200ml of very thin and very black crap out of it.
got a quick drive in before the storms arrived. steering is now considerably lighter. Well over due. Will do it a a few more times until what I pull out looks reasonably new.
seems a stupid design to me, not having a drain plug.
Also drained the winch, which I have never used due to the drive shafts being very loose. got some lovely looking gold chips in what was left of the oil (not much). Looks like I'll be pulling that off soon to.
