My 2a freshen up

Got the brake booster and brackets looking respectable, drilled enlarged and retapped sheered set screws......still pondering what type of foam to use under perforated disk. Hopefully I'll stumble on something before I have to install booster

Was going to replace welsh plugs but after scratching around at the hard to get to rear one found it was new and brass

Can borrow an engine crane, so soon motor and gear boxes can come out and I can get to chassis issues

Today I was wheely busy got my rim collection cleaned up and etched ........six Sunrasia mags and five 5.5 Land Rover rims will try for first coat of limestone tomorrow

Attachment 127244 Attachment 127245

I have two 5'' rims left which I would like to swap for a 5.5'' .......Maybe Cooma at Easter

Cheers Paul

You're going great guns with the painting. Unfortunately for me, Tassie temps are getting really low even during the day as painting should be done above 10C. So ill be concentrating on mechanical stuff, so I can at least look at what your up to for some ideas :D

First coat Limestone

Surprisingly wheels are quiet difficult to paint......well for me anyway....starting to think about what rubber to put on L R rims, the chunkier the better I think

Cheers Paul

What rims are they ? If they are LWB you can use 7.50 x 16. If so look out for Toyota Troopy take offs.

The Toyota comes with Dunlop Road Gripper 7.50 x 16's on split rims a lot of people & Government departments immediately remove them and fit wider wheels/tyres.
Typically you have to take the split rims which are hard to get rid of because there are so many around.

Four rims and tyres to be fitted tomorrow so I can have a rolling chassis for rebuild.

Attachment 127634

Motor and gearboxes out, motor oil leak free[bigsmile1] oil on gear boxes appears to be from selectors and poor filling or leaking bungs/plugs.

Attachment 127635Attachment 127636

Question time.................. are these brass bungs oil filling points???????

Attachment 127637 there is another on the transfer case that when I undid it, it had a spring attached to it??????

Attachment 127638 is the square plug an oil overflow level thing or something different (I got caught with a similar looking plug square thing when working on steering box)

What has happened to the transfer case to need these weld repairs in the past?

It is the oil level plug

What has happened to the transfer case to need these weld repairs in the past? Heaven knows - got hit by a rock or a stick or rusted out? Never seen repairs to them. Not a home made part to replace one lost is it?

Hope that helps,

Thanks John..........to fill boxes, is it done through inspection plates?

Cheers Paul

Fill through the level plug holes.
When it starts to run out and down your arm the level is correct......
