Looks really nice pulling that trailer, you should be well pleased with what you have achieved with the engine change, well done mate, nice one.

daz76 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Not been on here for a while Nick, so it's great to see you back on the road. I hope the Cummins will give you plenty to smile about :-D Job well done I reckon. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younggun Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) thanks daz .like you have not been on here in a while allso well i thought it was time i did a little update even tho i have not been posting for a while the work on floyd has continued . over the christmas holidays i was prepareing floyd for the local new years day road run when suddenly the main air tank decided that it was going to leak . on inspection the tank had rusted and gone thin so was removed from the truck and had a new barrell welded into it. now is good as new . to get the tank out the only way i could was too release the u bolts and lift the chassis off the axel to give me room to drop the tank out the bottom past the diff . whille the tank was being welded i sent the rear leaf spings away to be re tempered and rebuilt at the same time . also i have decided my trusty little hobbit box is no longer big enough so a replacemet has been found and purchased . :cool2: Edited March 18, 2012 by younggun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz76 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Very smart! Just out of interest who did you use for the springs? Have you got much to do to the living wagon? should look good behind Floyd. No chance of 'idle hand syndrome' with you is there :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of 'idle hand syndrome' with you is there :-D used a company we use at work http://www.jones-springs.co.uk/ stripped cleaned re temperd and new clamps made for £165 the pair. not worth me messing round with them for that money . living van is bare as it was so ideal for me to do what i want to it Edited March 18, 2012 by younggun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz76 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks Nick. seems good value to me. It's nice to start with a blank canvas for the living box too I imagine. Cummins sounds awesome by the way...:drive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
