meadowfield 2,570 #128 Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) An overdue update... Thought I'd get in the action on fender repairs, by the time I welded up the holes in a c series fender, I thought it easier to weld up the very rusty raider fender. Here it is with most rust cut out and patched And with the last patch in place Time for a short video showing the final transmission arrangement and steering. http://youtu.be/S6zzlN8f1-0 And some pics with the body mounted and engine It was going to Newby, but now the GT is going there's no room... :( Edited May 31, 2014 by meadowfield 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #131 Posted June 1, 2014 Steering now complete, very tight with no play Had a look at how the raider footplates might sit. That's it for a few weeks as we have the UK wheel horse round up next weekend :D 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #133 Posted June 15, 2014 Short update.... Bendy made it to this years UK wheel horse round up and then back. I started on the footplates, using the original ones but reversed left and right. New bars for the footrests With the heavily modified plates back on Amazing how the original front angle works in reverse And with the seat on blocks to get the height Next stop, rear transmission strip down :D 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #135 Posted June 21, 2014 Looking really cool Mark, Thanks Neil, Small update from the week.... 'Borrowed' the 8 speed from my C-161 as I want a heavy duty trans at the back. Surprise surprise, the hitch pin is seized.... Out with the grinder to cut the end off and then drill the remaining inch and half out to split it. And as usual, it's full of yoghurt Full set of seals ordered as it's getting a reasonable overhaul, the diff is getting special treatment too That just might find its own special thread :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #143 Posted July 6, 2014 With the diff locker finished and the casings painted I got distracted yet again This time with the intent of getting the backend complete and painted I thought I'd make a 3 point hitch.

meadowfield 2,570 #147 Posted July 12, 2014 The weather has been good in the north of England today so I took the opportunity to do a bit of painting. The rear fender has had a lot of work done and a bit of sanding and primer was called for Had to improvise somewhere for drying Rear transmission all ready to put back together. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,570 #148 Posted August 15, 2014 been a while since an update... firstly beefed up the hubs and cleaned up where they were hacked - also made them impossible to slide inwards completed the rear transmission and difflock shortened and rebushed the brake/clutch pedal made the bearing carriers for the intermediate tensioner added the final bracing on the rear subframe the pile of bits to complete the intermediate drive hopefully will get a few hours in the workshop this weekend.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
