Thread: Series 2 intro

It’s taken 6 months but finally finished the diffs
front diff input bearing had destroyed itself and rear was filled with new parts but I still stripped and checked but worked out well in the end
Biggest hassle was changing some of the diff mounting bolts as sometime one of its previous owners they put unf nuts on the bolts and destroyed the threads
Will be doing the galvanising next as I finally found a tub for my series 3 109 so forces it early just means poor old swb will have to wait longer for more work again

It’s a bit early to be doing the galvanising but as the new tub for my series 3 needed its trims done I thought I would add the series 2 trims and bits to the pile least by the time they need fitting they will be ready

All galvanising back and really happy with it now to pack away until required

And hope you can find it again...........

Looks like they did a nice job. I re-did all of mine a few years ago, the only buckling I got was from the large rectangular roof gutter. Unfortunately it filled in all of the small holes in the windscreen frame for the windscreen glass retaining strips. Oops. (Managed to find them all and open the holes up again.)

Little more done over last month both swivels rebuilt unfortunately had to buy two new swivel housing after I stripped them found to much scoring and rust
was surprised thou that it it had already had the raikio bush conversion as I had bought the kit to do already
it took a bit to get the right pull set don’t know how many times I took shims in and out till I got it right
happy with the results next stubs and backing plates

Little more done old brakes stripped and painted, also fitted new bushes to front stubs and new seal collars all round brake lines and shoes next
