So......

I had to many projects and this sat for a while...

Eileen decided she wants to have it for W+P and I was issued with a warning order.

I modified the frame and got a gifted fabricator to make the Bonnet and Baskets.

Hi all I'm starting a new project and will have it ready for W+P

This is the Chassis Ihad made two years ago....... and then got busy on other projects

So we have the Chassis painted and the Tub is being welded...

hi all,

Can anyone help.

I've been working on the Engine rebuild, I'm missing... wait for it......wait for it...

One head bolt

a source for the old old pressure pipes..... the rubber ones, 3, all different lengths and with different fittings at either ends.

and can anyone tell why I have two head bolts that are longer than the others?

thanks

The Front end is now stripped down and i'm listing all the parts I need

Ok, so I have been stripping the jeep down

There was some wood worm!

Ignore the Date , i've got to learn how to set that

Hi all,

I had to take some time off for a Wedding, My Daughter.So now I can start to play again..

I have limited space in my Sheds, hence the Saracen project is suspended til better weather.

I had to remove a dividing wall

plenty of room now

Got the steering working

Rams are supposed to be evenly adjusted

One has no thread showing, other has an inch.

the one with an inch (left hs ) wheels are slightly toe in

RHS no threads, wheels are facing way in.

Ok so tomorrow

Grease all points

Start Engine and test steering

1/ moves ok

2/ If stiff, loosen ball joint coupling on each end of steering, test.

If not any better

3/ Disconnect outer ball joints and check movement on either side of vehicle

If still no good.......

Then remove all wheel stations and replace with new one's,

Have Dinner

This is where it cracked

The whole assembly tries to move when I try to turn the steering ( Engine not running)

Thanks to some advice from Richard I now have gears.

However, having sorted one thing, I moved on....

I reassembled the steering and tried to turn it WITHOUT the Engine running, but with all 4 front wheels raised off the ground.

Really hard to move and then the housing creaked and broke where I had got it welded.

Now, do I have a problem in the steering gear or the internal steering assembley?

Can you tell me where on the rebuild thread, there are 11 pages

High all

Was running the Salute Show in Dublin last week

Busy weekend, again

I was told the reg on her was an RAF number... someone has been telling me porkies....

Not for the first time...

Its out, thanks in part, to advice given by forum members

and a 434 hiab

QUESTION; How many spanners can you hide under a Saracen Engine?

in this case ......... 4 ( all 1/2 inch and 7/16 )

and a screwdriver

and 2 gallons of Oil

One or two

But there are faces in them...

The Saxon is hidden and complete , very much a prototype..

No WW11 stuff

Lovely, just out of the Shop, still had all the tags on internal parts

Other side , facing the firing point.

and last, the prototype Saxon

Ok, Stripped this much,

I need to know whats next?

Is it safe to open hydraulic pipes? to change this broken part..

My Cat .wearing a Saracen
