I take my hat of to you(If only i wore one) But that is some under-taking. You must have the patience of a saint. Great job:thumbsup:.
B.t.w i think it was your old Pinkie i saw at Duxford today. Looked like it had a "For Sale" sign on it.
Me and the family had a great day. The only downer was stuck in the traffic coming home over the QE2 due to the Blackwall tunnel being shut.
Managed to pull 72mph in the 101 on the cavalcade. The O/D really does make a difference.
Thanks for the information and help given guys. I will endevour to try and put it together next week.Any problems and i will be back here for more help and advice:thumbsup:

Ive never changed a tyre on a ferret or a fox. But used to do many "Giants" as we called them. Basically commercial and JCB tyres on site. The process we used was to have an angled tyre leaver and a large club hammer. With the leaver in one hand i used to place it in the bead. With the hammer in other hand i would work the leaver around the bead with the hammer. Once the bead was broke i would insert two prising bars into the bead and work my way around until the wall of the tyre was off the rim. Then get your hand in and pull the gator out followed by the tube. I would then repeat the prising process again for the other side. Fox and ferret tyres maybe a bit different. But i think the principles the same.
I would suspect the Jeep was owned by a local resident. RR services were only just down the road during this period of time. At about that time. Jeeps,Champs and series Land Rovers were very popular with the "Chelseaset"
