Hi.
Rebuilt wiper motor cover.
A forum member sent me a 'Good' cover.
Sand blasting relieved few more holes.
So cut out the rust, and once again used my dear old dog, Luca's kennel Gal roof.
It never rusted after being out in the elements for 18 years. I bought it SH.
Happy with the finish.
Just couldn't stretch out vinyl, so had to add a pleat.

All done.

Spent the rest of the day, wire brushing the exhaust.
1.75 dia. is this STD. ????
Looks like it was Gal originally, Including muffler.
Cleaned up good. Only surface rust. May be Gal on the inside. Check tomorrow. If so modern replacemant, I guess.
Now nice and black.
Bit dark to take pics. Tomorrow.

I got mine from a Bursons store.
They have a range of ‘Z’ shaped hoses that suited.

Thanks John.
Got a part No ????

Sorry no part numbers. I got them a couple of years ago. But I just took a selection of old hoses in and they matched them for me.

I looked at the Z-shaped hoses at SuperCheap.
Found a better alternative, wandered into a self serve wreckers with some cutters and found lots of them on modern vehicles. Some were quite long and donated 2 or 3 bends.

Evening All.
Did my drive shafts today.
With no play in any of the 4 universals, decided to not touch them.
Just needed to clean off 50 years of grease and dirt. Easy.
7hrs later, finished.
The end plug had partly pushed out. Hydraulic lock maybe. Is that the correct word, To much grease with nowhere to go.
Method used for clutch bush.
Tapped back in place with punch. Water had got in. Know where now.
