Could have taped them up and driven it home.
Our local car club was invited to show its cars at the Gympie Mining Museum.
Good time to take Tristan for a run. About an hour each way and he performed very well. Sits on 80k,s. Thats fast enough for worm and nut steering.
G'day Bayrover :)
If Tristan is the one that I think it is,then it has come a Looong way since I first saw it about 15 years ago a pile of parts and 2 very tired chassis from memory :) at that time there were only 3 out of the total production of 622 of them known in this country.
I think the figures are right, ?? 123rover50 ;)
cheers
As usual you are right on mate.
G'day 123rover50 :)
THAT is a brilliant job :D and only one appreciated by somebody that saw the start pile :(
we will have to come up for a visit in the near future, ;)
cheers
argh i was in sweden last november it is so close grrrrrrr oh and yes back in sweden again now
Checking Tristan prior to going to Borumba this Sunday I noticed I had a broken wrap leaf.
The narrow front springs on these early models [up to mid 50] are scarce as Rocking Horse poo so I had the option of cut and shut a rear spring or take a slice off a wide front. I chose the latter but wasnt sure if they were the same length. Cut a strip off with the 10" Makita and redrilled the centre bolt hole, slipped it over after pulling the spring pack to pieces, looked OK so bolted it back together and put it back on the wagon.
Perfect fit but if doing next time I would take a narrow cut off each side leaving the centre bolt where it is. One cut took less than 10 mins so not a big job.

Very :cool:
Would that have affected the temper?
