Mate, the whole thing is in pieces at the moment, the rear tank is in the shed and the tub is in the back yard. I have a new rear cross member being made so when I get it back and fit it, the tank will go back in before the tub and I'll take a piccy for ya! This is great fun doing these, I haven't had this much fun since I built a moke 25 years ago.

Cheers Ian

here is a photo of an outrigger I had made for Smeg

Hey all
Here's a couple of photo's of smegs brakes, they weren't the best when I pulled them apart, front passenger was seized,rear passenger was leaking slightly, front driver had more leaks than Kevin Rudds caucas meeting today, a lot better now though, now I just have to bleed them. I have to pick up the new rear crossmember tomorrow and then it will be TIME TO PLAY. The rebuilt head should be back early next week (that's a freebie as I did some a/con work for him) and the clutch kit has arrived, $270.00. We can then start on putting him back together. I am looking at only putting the rear tank back in to compliment the standard tank as the filler is already cut into the body, and then mounting the passenger side tank I pulled out of Smeg a couple of month's ago into Ralph the 2a so each car has 2 x tanks.

I picked the crossmember up today. Waddayathink??.The first 3 x pic's are during manufacture, no. 4 is the finished product. My sheety said he could make some more if anyone is interested.

here is a photo of the crossmember I had made for Smeg. Fitted perfectly and now I have to replace the passenger side bulkhead outrigger and floor pans.

Regards Ian

Afternoon all
The outrigger is on and painted and now I have replaced and painted both floor panels. The Sikaflex makes it look a little bit untidy but it's all covered by the floor mats and sound deadening (that doesn't work). The next task is to put the motor back together and refit it hopefully next weekend. I have put up a few pic's for your perusal. BTW does anyone have the paint code for the Camino Gold??. I had a tin made up that I used for the floor pans but it's not a perfect match.

Cheers Ian
