After 8days in Sydney helping stepson with his kitchen upgrade, I'm home and have finished my bulkhead which is now rust free[bigsmile1]
Attachment 126080 Attachment 126081 Attachment 126082
There is about a 12mm error here in rust replacement pressings which I will need to drill out, matching good passenger side hinge holes and windscreen pivot point outer skin is correct, bottom bulkhead
mount bracket and windscreen pivot both sides are the same (within 4mm)
Attachment 126083
Found this at a market in Thirlmere thinking of mounting it on drivers side windscreen pivot plate

Got a few more pieces painted, but found when I unwrapped my previously painted vent covers to check bulkhead for distortion the bubble wrap I had wrapped them in had transferred to paint surfaces
So I had to sand and re paint[bigsad] the rest of the panels are painted and wrapt under my house I'm hoping they are not similarly effected[bigsad]

Question where do I buy new rubber bushes for steering damper, can't find them on line as the ones that come up have a threaded screw and rubber fixing not a bush

Just get some shocky rubbers from repco. Should be fine.

Take a sample to any auto parts supplier.
perhaps worth noting that the steering damper on the 2a was always an optional extra, and is only needed for severe offroad work.

Paul, your garage and lr bits everywhere is like mine at the moment too. Was thinking its nice to know someone out there also is in similar position. Good work on the bulkhead too.

Are you going to drive the 2a up or trailer it up there Paul?
Might be a few of us going up there, will be good to see them all together [biggrin]
-
drive, trailer not sure............would be happier in a convoy if driving 2a as I'll be on my own
If you city guys from Melbourne take the Princess and then the Monaro I could link up at Cann River

There'll be a small group of us going from here that I know of so far, but we'll be at Corowa for the weekend before first, so leaving the older cars up in Albury whilst we go back to Melb to work for a week, then head back up to Albury to pick up the vehicles and will be driving up through Tumut from there, missing the very steep and winding road up through Tumbarumba, Sue City to Cabramurra.
So I'm afraid the Monaro is out for us.
