started getting the rear chassis ready for painting, dad manning the needle gun! some more pics of the scammell. plus new exhaust dose any body else know if there dash bored is welded to cab front panel? also the arm on the throttle control going down to the oily rusty cylinder at bottom of the injector pump pushes that cylinder into the pump and when you let go of the throttle it is really delayed when coming back of the cylinder, this probably doesn't make any sense but if any body dose know what i am on about and if its a problem would you let me know?

from what my dad says if its got scammell on the radiator its early as our 1939 pioneer had but our 1944 we once had and the 1942 we have now they don't have it. -

hows the restoration going, got any more updates for us? -
hi chev, on the exhaust manifold side there is the inlet water manifold, mounted to the cylinder block just below the exhaust manifold? well i think that's what its called it has a bolt at either end, well ours is really pitted and corroded and we would like a new one if you have one? we havent gone through the engine yet so we dont know, also a set of throttle springs for the throttle on the injector side would be a help? john

the rocking beams on the scammell are leaning in the middle and the brake linkage on top is touching the springs and when we jack the wheels of the ground and lower them there is movement underneath were the beams join the axle so we think it is the bushes or "bush" that need to be changed so if it is dose anyone know were we could get some of the bronze bushes made or were they might be sold we are going to have to get some one to do this part for us as its a bit out of our league haha.
