Thread: Rebuilding Sid

Springs are done and painted but I haven’t been able to reassemble yet. I had ordered new fittings but the new centre dowels came without nuts. Bunnings doesn’t stock BSF it appears....

So new nuts on order. I’ve started stocking up,on stainless steel nuts and bolts as I’ve decided to use these as much as I can to make life easier in the future.

So today has been hub building. These have been rebuilt before by the look of it, but as it’s likely to be the same muppets that did the diff I’ve started again.

Step one, clean everything


Primed


And finished. Sprayed and then baked in the oven to harden them up.

Looking good. The wife looked at me funnily on Saturday when I baked Ernies rear drums and axle flanges in the oven

I thought I was the only one...

Axles going to be a bit tricky.

Are you familiar with how good a job of degreasing you can get in a dishwasher?

I agree John,
They do a great job.

Cheers, Mick.

They do indeed, however,

I’ve been married long enough to know where the boundaries are....

Dare I say using the wife's toothbrush to clean parts is probably not a good idea either

Wonder what this could be?



My postman is not such a happy individual since I bought a Land Rover.
