Jessie The Jeep Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The 'ears' had been twisted off the one on my Ford, so I ordered a replacement and took the whole fitting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 How did you drain it Steve, the petcock seems fairly well bedded in on mine, what is the exact size of the nut, its a bugger to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I don't remember the hex size, but seem to recall having to work from the top, over the fender, by feel with a spanner to unscrew the whole fitting. A new one will show you the right spanner size to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) I have a German helmet on the Dodgé spare wheel for the last 20-25 years. I call it Wilhelm (pronounces in German), realising later that sounds like Wheel helm in English.. Edited July 30 by Enigma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviem Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Another quick one folks which engine oil are you using seen a lot of discussions about this mine currently has 20/50 which some people detest and others find ok be interesting to hear what you all use and why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Made a start of my battered Jerry can, love the patina but full of pin holes, a good rub down, red oxide followed by drab and on she goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Honestly, I would leave the can just like that. It's original only once, and with fresh paint it will just be one of many especially since you probably won't try to plug all the holes. It will give a nice contrast to the rest of the jeep ☺️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I agree, thought about a coat of wax to stabilise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Wax, or bricks/masonry sealer if you have some. The rain will run right off it. In fact, the bricks sealer was recommended to me by a jeep-friend, he sprayed it on his entire jeep and then it dries matte and completely invisible, and a year later the rain still collects in large droplets and runs off as if the jeep is freshly waxed. I'm in the process of doing a light restoration but when painting is completed I'll try this stuff myself, I already got a can from the local hardware store: I'll take the body off the frame so I should be able to treat all nooks & crannies with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should work fine, but I'd try a little bit on the bottom first; let it dry and see if anything happens to the paint or so, just in case ☺️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
