Questions

The axle is back in and I am about to roll is outside to wash the rest of the chassis.
I am intending to buy a drain cleaner attachment to clean the inside of the chassis before treating with fish oil. Anyone have any good ideas about how best to get the oil into the cavities?

I will then be dropping the tub and seat box back in. I have cleaned the remains of some seal tape of the panels. Any idea what to replace it with? I don't really want to use a mastic from a gun - it will make a mess and stick the panels together. The old stuff was a bit like white 'blue tac'

I used a body sealant but 4 Wheel Drives in Melbourne carry the stuff in the picture below. Used for sealing windows in doortops or windscreens.

I used a container that once held underbody sealer and was designed to be sprayed direct from the can. For long distances the flexible hose can be replaced with a length of beverage tube from the hardware store.

Use Penetrol if you want to stop rust; fish oil is useless by comparison,

I got some of this from bunnings

I am hoping it will work. Since opening it seems very similar to what was installed except one side is stuck to a foil which is not great, but it is wide so I figure if I fold it in half so sticky both sides.

Well progress goes well and we are registered and on the road. In my pursuit of braking nirvana I was re re re bleeding the brakes when I noticed a drop of oil on the inside if the wheel. Closer inspection revealed that the oil seal that had been behaving itself since I fitted a new breather has now decided to be naughty again.

Anyway- hub off as I have a new seal that I bought just in case. A close inspection of the seal landing identified a Icke groove where the seal lip had sat.

Now I also have one of those

It is a bit of a pain to swap the seal landing so do I sling it back together as is or cut it off a press a new one on???
