    snap top bag

    That is a idea that I use a lot of, when taking bolts and screws out I put them into a snap top bag.
    No trouble fitting the parts back together, as there is no scratching about finding fittings.

    Black hole

    Wondering if the cut out is to allow the running of a belt driven machine from a pulley fitted to the centre pto?

    Are there any bolt holes in the floor of the tub where a pump or welder could have been mounted?

    A couple of spares here, including a surprise for me, the right hand tub was off the 86" Land Rover I learnt to drive on the family farm 50 years ago.

    That's a great yard, Arthur. Is it yours?

    A blatant thread highjack

    Dinty; That picture was of the tubs, that if you are interested could be used for the replacement panels.
    Hope you don't mind me answering these questions here

    That one with the early chassis still belongs to Paul who is getting rid of the rest.

    He is hoping to restore it, myself and ---- are encouraging him to return it to a red colour, as there is a good chance it may have been one of the two used at the Cambridge aerodrome, they were painted red and were used by the fire chief as run around's, but they were not fitted out as a fire tender, with pumps etc.

    Hi Roger

    The yard needs to be cleared, so Paul is moving his collection, ---- and myself are purchasing a good part of the collection so Paul can manage what is left.

    Hi Dennis
    I know I'm a bit further than just down the road, but if you wanted them I have the moulds that I used to round the guards to replicate the wheel arch. Can I recomend that you also take all the bracing off the original to refit to your new sheet.

    Another hot blustery day good for nothing really, I had to do a compulsory education session at work @ 0900hrs x 2hrs, half the day gone/wasted, anyway I had items in my No5 trailer for grit blasting, so they took the drive to that location (no NOT the one I went to previously) anyway they will be ready early next week.
    I had to find a secure location to leave my No5 trailer as I didn't want to have it tagging along in Newcastle, parking is a PIA at the best of times down there, so I took to one of my work locations in Maitland and left it there.
    Hancock sheetmetal car park was almost deserted I could have taken my trailer, anyway my sheet of alloy was ready, this will be the transome behind the seats

    just need to mark it all out etc and fold the edges, hopefully refit it without any dramas.
    We arrived home at 1430hrs message on the phone, Hunter Galv, my parts are ready for pickup , message received @1400hrs we were in the vicinity well within 10 k's of it at around that time, wish now I had given them my wifes mobile number, now it's a trip back to Tomago in the morning, anyway that was my day, cheers Dennis
    ps Tony, my wife says I'm not up for adoption, sorry mate,,.
