If they are that know that much why not ask them where you would be able to obtain that unobtainable part from to put the fault/flaw that is not right, right .

I know Adam but it's the cost at the moment ,kinda skint in the pig fund so i'll make do with glass just and save for the hatches , as for the glass i've got a tube of windscreen fix stuff so they just be sealed in to place Jamie

I'll be there helping on my friends stand AIRSOFT WORLD , so pop along and say hi Jamie

Sorry to hear about your car , but glad your alright Jamie

There was one in Glasgow that went in the Clyde at Govan not seen anything about it for a bit anyone know ?

Thanks Clive

emmmm yes i did is it a big oops? But again it was a pile of sludge that came out of the tracta housings so i think they had not been done of a while Jamie

I was just going with what Adam said , HELP WHATS RIGHT , since i've filled it its not turned a wheel so have i done any damage ????????????

Adam he's not got a long enough bit left only around 4" which may be a bit too short to get a hold of with the hub on . But if you can hang on he'll probably be getting more in to do a job for a farmer. Anyway moving on Three out of the four wheels done , Brake drums so far are as new with hardly and wear as well as the shoe's so good there Nearside front was the first and a fairly easy job outer seal knacked but inner seal intact Nearside rear full of grease inner and outer hub so a lot of cleaning to get rid of again all as new on drums and shoes outer seal knacked inner intact Offside rear again full of grease inner and outer again cleaned out and seal changed did'nt look that bad but most of the bolts were not the tightest even loose so all rebuilt and filled with clean hypoid 90 oil . All the grease points cleaned off and greased and the rear diff oil dropped will refill it tomorrow. As my pig has no front hatches only glazed windows that were broken I set about removing the old sealant and remainders of the glass, wire brushed them and got a coat of primer on it. Have taken templates of the window openings and will go the glaziers and see what they can do for me. I also wire brushed one of the petrol tanks to start on the restoration of them . No pics again but will get the camera out tomorrow Jamie

how many gallons to the mile ????

Want want want want want, Just a second can anyone give me a loan of £30000 I'll pay you back next time i see you Jamie

what about the frost stuff and line the tank itself www.frost.co.uk just got all the stuff but not did it yet http://www.frost.co.uk/how_do_i_explained.asp?hdID=32'>http://www.frost.co.uk/how_do_i_explained.asp?hdID=32'>http://www.frost.co.uk/how_do_i_explained.asp?hdID=32 or http://www.frost.co.uk/how_do_i_explained.asp?hdID=3 Jamie

Any opportunity to buy new tools

If its anything like old mercs that ive done fill the filters with clean fuel ,crank it over ,re fill if necessary, crack open the last injector union , crank over , check filters refill if ness, and keep doing that it should start ,total pain i know but that works with an old 814 that the wife had as a horsebox. Stupid point is there enough fuel to cover the draw tube in the tank? Is there a hand pump on the filters if there is theres a o ring that usually knacks on it ? Jamie

I'll ask him tomorrow Adam

No problems with the police driving it about London thought they might get twitchy ?

Thanks Adam, getting there just don't want to muck anything up at this early stage and because your all kind I like to ask stupid questions

Hi all again, going over the pig today, And on the offside bonnet flap it says:- Steering Box OC600, So looked up Clives fluid thing and it says:- OC-600 O-208 DEF STAN 91-65/1 Gear oil compounded. Mineral oil 94%, Rape seed oil 6% eg steering box Humber FV1600 What do I use , do I make it myself , or just use Oil like 10w30 and the next thing that's doing my head in WHERE DOES IT GO ??????? :nut: And before I refill my hubs and tracta joint ,I'm I right in saying that the Joint gets SAE90 and the hub gets 10w30 oil ? Not put anything in it yet just to check Your help will be appreciated Jamie

or here even http://www.vintagemotorspares.com/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/hodge?opendocument&part=8 Jamie

Already on to the seal tool, gave the sizes to a friend of mine that has a lathe and he's going to run me off one today or tomorrow Jamie

Less done today but i did get the second tank off ,looks slightly older than the nearside one. Seals arrive tomorrow £15 each how does that sound (cheap or expensive) ?

Went into the local bearing suppliers and he is going to try and order in the damaged outer seal . And whilst cleaning all the bits in the front hub using universal cleaner (petrol) and a stiff brush the paint on the hub and drive shaft end started to dissolve ,bizarre to say,so getting side tracked again had a rub at the side of the pig and the paint dissolved and came off leaving the under paint intact , its Deep bronze green . I don't know what the last person painted it with but makes my job easier ill accept it Waiting for a phone call today to see about the seals . I'm going to go with the advice that Adam gave me and get the frost products to do the fuel tanks with piccys later Jamie

Thanks for that info Clive BUT..... call me stupid, call me blind, but under the pig today looking at the front axle with my work light guess what i spotted that was in front of me The data plate So my pig is 32 BK 96 Engine No 8172 Chassis No 33296 Now off to specksavers for new glasses Looking at the front nearside axle all seems fine brake shoes and drum look brand new cylinder is intact but the only problem is the seal on the stub axle in fact all 4 wheels seem to be weeping oil on the lower half of the drums but its not inside its the outside Took one of the petrol tanks off the nearside one as well more later

Thanks again Clive
