    Block has been stewing for a couple of days so hit it with the pressure cleaner. Lots coming out so to do a better job I destroyed perfectly good stainless core plugs to get at the innards better. Then back in the brew.

    Its Spring time in Kilkivan

    Pulled the front spring packs apart, derusted, cold reset over an old stump. There was a wear step present so ground that off and put a bevel on the top side of the leaves to allow easier movement.
    I normally remove old bushes with a long 1" holesaw but in this case the bolt was seized in so burnt it out.

    Used a moly oil mix I can apply with a brush to lube all the leaves, clamped up with G clamps and fitted new centre bolts.
    Free camber of over 7" now as compared with under 5" before.

    Still Springtime

    Cut the outer bush with the hacksaw and use a specially sharpened through tang screwdriver to remove them. Most people know this stuff but there is a generation that have had nothing to do with leaf springs that may be interested.
    Greased up the new bushes with moly and knock them in with the tool I made from a bolt and washers that puts the pressure on the outer sleeve.

    Fitted new centre bolts sourced from the local spring works. Notice the long threads and heads. Those heads go all the way into the recess in the axle.
    Measured the camber and the two with the most will go on the RHS.

    Thanks Bob. Interesing slide show though they got a few of the captions wrong Humber as Daimler and Daimler as Rolls etc.
    I have printed off the Landy pics off another website for reference but dont like the combination of Royal Blue with the Royal Claret but guess I am stuck with it. The Rangie with a tan interior and Royal Claret goes much better.

    Not much happening here just yet as waiting for parts.
    Had some brake bits in the soup for a week. Cleaning up nicely.
    The alloy wheel cylinder shows no sign of corrosion at all.

    I used 2 litres molassis to 200 litres of water. First time for me too so experimenting. Others may know how long it lasts and wether it has to be renewed.
    Buy from stock food place. Cheap as, but just forgotten the price now.
