This mornings little job

Ah, damp mornings🤣

Moved the rolling chassis to its new home in the Scottish Borders. We are selling the current house so I'll need to be careful not to use all of the equity on getting the LR finished!

... some nice fresh monoblock for you to drip oil on!

Ha! - that's the house I am selling. I'd like to say that my rebuilt gearbox doesn't leak, but of course, it does!

Had a very pleasant 20 minute t. inker, changing a much-corroded Extended Filler Pipe.  I though my old one was just a bit mucky, but it turned out the SS wire mesh was seriously corroded - to the extent it had rusted completely through!

So I bought a new (expensive) pipe.  Looking at the muck that fell out the old one, I'm surprised that my fuel filter isn't stuffed.....  I'm ashamed to have let it get to such a state.  I do take my SII for granted far too much.

Made a prototype light attaching ring, I really don't like self tappers. It is also all aluminium so shouldn't react with the wings as much.

Disabled part of the automatic corrosion prevention system on the transfer box with a new seal and speedi sleeve. I might even end up with a handbrake that works outside of East Anglia.

Investigating a loss of clutch function from December (no rush for this things), had found previously that the housings for the spherical bearing on the clutch operating shaft had split. Finally got the shaft free, and this was the state of the old bearing. How it ever worked, I don’t know

Did a trial fit of the tub and everything appears to line up, not too far away for a correct door gap - just a bit of fettling with the bulkhead. I will need to get some spacers for the bolts. Its been a bit of a journey to get it knocked back into shape!

Talking with my good old friend this morning

[Herald1360]

Errrr.... what response did you get from a starting handle?  Brrrrrrrmmm?

[Alice B]

Rebuilt the Weber carb which was full of crud!  Threw away the inline fuel filter which was choked.  New fuel filter installed and no more kangaroo Landy.  Rewired the trimpot on the Temp gauge, which will have to wait until Morrow to see if it's working correctly.

Ah, damp mornings🤣

Time for a leather cover?  There is a club discount for a supplier on the club website as I recall.  Mine came with a leather cover, it has lasted well.  Though a damp morning can have the grime I have ingrained in the leather start to do the same now!
