    got a problem with the brakes on my t, every 3rd or 4th time of use the brakes wont release on the rear axles, it takes about 30 secs for them to release, not sure the relay valve is original, it had the problem when I bought it and i replaced the relay valve with a like for like new one but the problem remains the same, anybody got any pics or part numbers for the correct valve.

    hi edd, winch rope came of ebay, bought a nearly full drum and got 2 full lengths of rope of for my pioneer and a friend who has 3 pioneers, there is some cable left over but not the whole 440 feet you need for the pioneer, i would estimate about 200 feet left from memory but would need to check that.

    Wheels now on, had a problem with the fuel filters, somebody in the past has done away with the connecting pipes between the two making one permanently redundant, have now fitted a new modern filter with sediment bowl, it won't please the rivet counters but will be a better and more reliable system, glass going in the windscreens today and more wiring and hopefully a start of the engine in the chassis, 1st time in 6 years.

    Picked the best of my tyres and started cleaning threads on wheel rims with a die nut ready for fitting, cab floor now finished and she is mostly wired.

    best welded with mig as the chassis is not mild steel hence the advice if stick welding to use low hydrogen rods, if joining two sections then a decent fillet needs to be ground out and a plate bolted on the inside covering the join, some say the chassis should be cut at 45 degrees to make the join stronger, as for filling deep pits weld them up and grind of, try not to put too much heat in to any specific area so as to reduce the chance of distorting the chassis, if the pit is deep fill the bottom and move on to another and then come back to it when its cooled a little.

    forgot to mention the inner race is machined in to the steering shaft so cannot be replaced.

    1st bearing place said no chance so went to another who said they could get the race but the outer cup was not made anymore, found some old stock in Australia , the nearest he could find size wise was 9 thou too big so getting a price to have them ground down
