Hi Col
Both myself and Bill found our vehicles by word of mouth, sometimes it's a chance conversation that can lead to you finding that elusive vehicle. Keep looking it's out there somewhere, if you don't find anything by next summer I could add you to my insurance and you could take the champ thing to a couple of shows if you feel brave enough 😁
Must catch up over Christmas

Having sorted the track rods out took it for a quick spin without the canvas to check all ok the other wkend.
Noted a dull knock / rattle on tickover 😣 suspected loose crank pulley ! ! Yep that's what it turned out to be .
So off with the front of the truck and yes even though we drifted the pulley on when the engine was rebuilt it was loose in fact loose enough for me to remove it by hand ! Luckily the old OY engine had a decent one which I managed to remove and swap over.
Back together by end of day with peace of mind knowing it should be sorted, engine running nice and quiet again 😁

Yep Ensign Universal picked them up at the Netly marsh autojumble, looked quite chunky before fitting but look ok on the wheels.

Yes Jan taped up all the spindle ends etc with lots of layers of heavy duty duct tape though I will of course strip everything for thorough cleaning with new wheel bearings as the old ones are worn out 😁
BTW Thanks for posting my full frame number something I didn't want to do !

Hi Chris frame No. Is 1289# will probably go for the later type carrier as it's handy to have panniers, yes need to get some new rubber stops 😁

Doh ! Sorry Ron I mistook the part you were referring to 🙃 I can see now the part that needs to be sorted, I'm finalising my parts wanted list, need new fork spindles, nuts and friction discs are just a few bits needed just to start with.

Well done that man! The broad 'D' shaped plate on the nose is definitely a Royal Enfield thing, but I've never seen one curled up!....... should be flat I'm sure!
Ron
Thanks Ron
Will leave as is for the mo until I am sure it should be flat then I'll give it a beating 😁

Great to see more progress on the truck, looks like the cab is really coming together 👍

Here you go, called by and picked this little lot up from Deano and got it home to etch prime before the dreaded rust sets in.
Most of it survived ok but the front ribbed mudgaurd is dead I think considering it all looked like it had been at the bottom of a pond or under a hedge for yonks it's not too bad, have sold off some of the spares I won't need which is helping to fund this resto, must admit I'm really enjoying restoring this WDC so much physically easier than the MW though I'm sure that there will be the odd part or two that will be hard to find.
