I thought that was your rented caravan & was admiring the size of the tumble drier.  Tongue

Call myself a fitter  Undecided checked the timing today and it was one tooth out on the cam and half (It would take ages to explane that) on the pump. Pinned it up, but must have gone wrong somewhere. Now running better and quieter than it has done for years.  Grin

 Cheesy
At least if mine packs up I can just pull over to the side of the road. Not so simple when you're 20,000 leagues under the sea.

As it is the first weekend spare I've had for weeks (We did go to Chatham docks after, we are members of English Heritage and got discount, worth going and the tickets lasts a year)
Didn't get as much as I liked but its all forward progress.
At the Hot Rod Drags I picked up a Kingpin kit and decided to start on my front end.
I stripped the front end off the car and took it into my office, C C have done a "How To" this month how to fit them, they just did not look right with the thrust washer at the top and after a phone call to Steve they were put on the bottom. (And when I got home I looked in C C and it was then I noticed the first two pictures show the axle upside down  Angry)
As its a tube axle, there is no place for the cotter pins to fit, so I have done what Steve and quite a few others have done, I drilled two holes in each side and tapped them for grub screws. In the photos they are not fully in yet as next weekend I am taking the axle up the track so Steve can drill the kinpins and make the lock stops.
Even thought there is no play in the old bearings, they will be changed after I get the axle back from Steve.

The other week I measured up the space for the fuel tank, after I drew up a design I went and bought some wood and dowel, measured and cut it all out and made a frame, in the week I will be bending some hardboard around it. After I check it for fit, we will use it to bend up the tank.
