    Some extra pictures of the trailer, rivets are on order to rivet this thing back together. which me luck, only around 150 rivets to go !!!

    on one of the rear leaf springs a bottom leaf was broken replaced this with a new piece. Still have to make a new bronze bush for the rear spring eye as there is excessive play in one bush.

    The axle back in to it's place, we have a rolling trailer. next job will be the fitting of the mudguards.

    In between the work on the Morris C4 i have been working a bit on the trailer. Axle ready to slide under the trailer chassis .
  7. guy66
    front end of the chassis almost ready, now we can move on to the rear .

    received a parcel from the previous owner, he send my the PTO for the extra generator on a wireless C4. luckily he still had this part and didn't trow it in to the scrap bin !

    Now that I am waiting for the return off some bits from the sandblaster I spent some time on the brake pipes and played a bit with white paint.
  10. guy66
    Rear axle in paint! traced also some original bits to replace the French steering box (pictures ) and modified mounting to the chassis.

    the back axle is ready to paint, get rid off the primmer that had been used by the previous owner. I use a epoxy paint and don't want to take any risks with this primmer. Also changed the front oil seal on the differential.

    Ian , there are some bits with the sandblasters for the trailer, so a big maybe for war and peace. For sure the interest is still there . If you are coming by a radio box for the C4 on you discovery conquest just give a shout.

    And now we have a nice front axle without play.
  14. guy66
    steering knuckles back together and in paint, now without play.:laugh:

    found the rear axle number, the previous owner modified the back axle bump stops with big rubber blocks and welded a extra plate on top off the axle. After removing these extra plates on the axle I discovered the back axle number and ratio. Number is as on identification plate, so still the original one.

    The steering swivels bronze bushes are ready and no more play on these bits, made also new bushes for the spring shackles and reamed them to a nice fit, now the bushes in the springs will follow. strange thing is that the front spring bushes have no play!must have well been greased .

    Had a go on the front steering knuckle, made some new bronze bushes with the lathe and after fitting made a nice fit for the swivel pin with a adjustable reamer.

    The front axle came completely apart and all the parts have been sprayed . now i will have a go on the bronze bushes. Fond also a number on the axle but don't know if this is the part number???
  20. guy66
    The chassis is now in paint and started to take the front axle apart! will have to make some new steering knuckle bushes as there is some play on the vertical link.
  21. guy66
    You can also see some pictures of my QL restoration on my thread that I have on here . GUY
  22. guy66
    We started to take everything apart! chassis completely strip and now we can start !
  23. guy66
    Some identification plates from the C4.
  24. guy66
    Is it possible that there is a section of the angle iron missing around the pedals, just have a look on the picture and you just can see a bit of a piece of angle iron?
