    Hello again.

    Well, I don’t smoke - but suppose I would have had a cigarette afterwards back in the day.

    Cheers,

    John,

    Hello and thanks.

    This was probably more important for an attempt to rebuild a relay in situ rather than in a vice. Happily, the latter’s going to be the operative case.

    Cheers,

    Neil , Have you attempted to pull the relay apart yet? If not make sure you put a hessian bag or old heavy towel over it so that spring dose not get you.

    I have also read somewhere that it is advised to pull an old sock over it & wire that down tight on the body.

    Have never seen one fire off but I can imagine the mess it would make if the guts hit you.

    Wayne,

    Hello and thanks.

    I was out west counting kangaroos all week - so, didn’t make any further progress.

    Yes, I’m aware of the need to use some sort of constraining bag when the innards are driven out. I’m planning to have a go at that later in the week when I get back onto the job.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    Hello again.

    Yes, the folklore on this part of the operation is fairly confronting. Hopefully, it will prove to be overstated.

    It does tend to imply that one needs a change of under wear & some new standby DAKs hanging up in the grudge for the just in case event doesn't it.

    Neil,
    How is that relay going ? have you pulled it apart yet or are you still waiting for the spring to arrive? Don't forget your PPE I keep checking every day for the success report.

    Wayne,

    Hi.

    The genuine LR spring that was coming from Italy was incorrectly packed - what came was, in fact, a gear lever spring.

    The correct relay spring is supposedly on the way.

    Cheers,

    Neil
