hi, got a guy for upholstery turbo, hopefully,mates rates.. found time to put a few things back on. mounted the reliant hand brake. two mounting bolts lined up exactly with the second tank mount and a brace at the back. just in right spot for passengers feet so will duplicate a shorter version of the handbrake mount and bolt it on otherside. put a polished stainless cover on each.anyone got advice on getting cable made up and who does them in yorkshire.

made a bracket to mount off the caliper bolt to put a boomerang type curve to mount the mudguard so when new axle tubes go on they can be left clean of brackets. will look smoother coming from inside dish of the wheel

off to see mick the miller on fri, hes hopefully got a guy who will weld the fuel pipe tubes and curves into the two fuel tanks. think then i can do a bit of preliminary wiring and fire it up..
watching that brake set up of yours zakboy n g6, looks like i may have to go same route, don't want to get pipes made up from xj brake pedal to find its not powerfull enough.

had a look at them cabman, will look further, checked that out too zakboy, quick neat job. have used the reliant handbrake which is a continuous inner cable around a plastic wheel. easier to order one as they will allready know ends and cable sizes., unless i can just by inner and outer cable with universal ends. try evil bay later for that.. hopefully by end of day will have tanks, prop, duplicate foot plate, and new axle clamps being done.
got my Axel tubes sent down from bonnie Scotland and were wrong ones,easy sorted tho. if anyone wants or knows someone who does, the tubes with 3 back plate bolt holes as apposed to four can have them for postage costs.

i,ve met haggis a couple of times a few years ago , he used to live in keigthly and play about with land rovers , had a few bits off him for mine . i know he does stainless axle tubes , look really nice but far too much money for what they are in my opinion . Hya mate. I dont remember you from my Landy Days, or would maybe by face  You are correct about my tubes. Thats maybe why I have not sold any. But unfortunately I just cant make them any cheaper. There is over 10 hours of machining time to make a pair. The bearing housings are machined out of soild bar 100mm diameter. Have you tried to buy Staniless steel lately??? Scrap stainless is fetching over £1.50 a KG.  There is nearly £75 or material in each pair. £275 a pair means that £200 for 10 hours machining = £20 an hour. Then there is electricity, workshop rent, wear n tear on machine. Coffee, milk n sugar. If you can find a machine shop that will do machining to an accurate standard for less than £20 n hour please let me know.  Dobber I will have your replacement tubes removed today. Just off to work so text me about 10 ish to remind me. My ageing memory is slipping  |
