Jerry Jeep Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 some times you have to weld up the holes and re drill them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 On one side the gap between seat tube and toolbox was smaller the bracket simply wouldn't go in between them, it does now I've had a quick look and the holes line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviem Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks Jerry, as rule of thumb how many coats, and think you told me to just leave it for 2/3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jeep Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 3 thin coats don't let it day to much between coats and don't paint it when its to hot a day the paint will become powdery looking its hard to tell you how to spray as I don't think about it I just do it keep a cheque for runs don't put in to much thinners and don't put it on to thick remember jeep have lots of corners for thick paint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Are you spraying or brushing? I got Cromadex for the Dodge repaint. Because of the various seams in the Dodge body, I decided to brush paint it to get into all the corners. I was also painting in the garage where the other two Jeeps were and didn't want to overspray everything. A panel was brushed out, then followed by rollering with a 4 inch glossing roller to take out the brush strokes. It was fairly quick and has given a finish that looks sprayed. I did four coats in total. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 That looks great bud the plan is spray, very dark drab late war, I already have the paint, so I'll obviously be taking everything out again seats etc masking , and doing the inside of the tub first, going to need a gazebo of some sort to deal with overspray always seems to be windy here.

Chris Hall Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I live only a few miles away so went on Saturday, I probably saw you and didn’t realise. Supposedly, lead balls in the tank dissolve into the fuel to help the valve seats. Personally I think it’s a bit of a gamble as I do t see the lead dissolving much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the Stuart? It overtook our park and ride bus as we left. Annoyingly that’s the only time I saw it. When I last went, they had an M18, this time I went to see if it was there and it wasn’t. But the rippled tarmac was there from when it moved off 5 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviem Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Thanks Steve, yeah self tappers work fine, now the spare wheel, are the two lugs supposed to fit the rim or just hold the plate in place please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 They just hold the disc, which in turn holds the wheel in place. The three bolt brackets go through the wheel stud holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
