I've also been busy rebuilding the hubs and brakes. I have done both the rear ones, with new wheel bearings, seals, brake cylinder and brake shoes. I am waiting for some more bits for the front ones, which may take a few weeks to turn up thanks to the voncano ash!
I really wanted to get this done for Beltring, but it's just not going to happen this year. I still have the Bedford engine to change and the Wolf to MOT. On top of that the handbrake in the Sabre has broken and needs fixing before I can put it on a low loader.
As for affording this, yes it's costing me a fortune. Both Mutts have needed so many new parts, the parts themselves aren't expensive in the USA, but by the time I pay postage and then Gordon has his bit they start getting pricey. I'm not going to rush this one, hopefully it'll be like new when it's done.
