adjust the shoes to be as loose as to fit the drums on, then adjust till you cant spin them, then one click back otherwise try swapping your shoes with the others

Flap disk - 20ish bucks grinder, $30 upwards i guess

$60 for a gallon of premium grade 30wt oil I find my truck leaks less of the penrite than castrol

1/2 inch whitworth sounds about right pretty sure i have spares if you get caught out

Some nasty pictures Rust here was hidden nicely under the engine mount tower This is the front sill section nearly directly under that mount. Basicly from that rust back about a ft on each side has been replaced with a rough patch (they should have made it an inch longer eh) Good news is that that should be the last of the rust repairs. Split my engine and box today to check it out - one of the springs on the clutch had broken, and was probably part of my clutch problems way back when this thing was driving. Nevermind, i have two spare boxes and a new clutch (part number is the same as the 803 a series incase anyone cares) so will all go back together better than before. Next on the list is to re-captivate the gearbox crossmember captive nuts Then take out the diff and springs, so all that can be stripped back, painted and any rubber bits replaced as needed Wanted to do that today, but i dropped the damn gearbox on my fingers. Its small, but almost a solid lump of cast iron, now my fingers are simply too fat to work on the dinky little nuts and bolts in this

my word this looks nice

Grey Like my minor orginally was so british and bland, will look amazing on this

They make an awesome thunk when you open or close them

With much thanks to the singlecAmer spammer im starting to get everything "correct" Seems accurate (or as accurate as the previous one), just required shortening of the mounting bracket and different connectors

woops cause of falling off the road?

teflon chain slider as fitted to motorcycles on a bracket which moves up and down this is why im hot

So set some time aside to work on this again so far Engine, gearbox and front suspension are out - all of which are caked solid in hard crap engine bay is about 80% stripped, taking it right back because most of it has surface rust breaking through Small amount of rust in the battery box, probably wont fix it (had some steel pop rivited over) Will make up a wooden case job to sit in there as its a pretty big space for a battery. This will hide anything i dont want to see some pitting where the radiator overflow drips on. However i have uncovered an unhealthy patch of rust hiding under the drivers side engine mount. Will need a patch made. No big deal, just another item on the list List seems to be always getting bigger, but progress is progress right? (would have liked to be driving at the end of the week, could have done if i had just put the seats back in and filled up the tank oh well)

I like how this has too much power for its own good Usually my stuff brakes just because its poked

vacuum bleeder i have one made from a tyre valve glued though a mastercylinder cap im probably meaning to say pressure bleeder btw

if it was actually 4.40pm then yes otherwise someone at work took it for a spin

mastercylinder been out at all? otherwise, bleed, repeat, bleed, repeat wait a week, bleed again or or borrow/build a vacuum bleeder

That pleases me Looks like its got original step covers too (iv only got one) Set up under tray is for a ramp? That is entirely what i need

oh, balls been windy lately, so perhaps the ticket blew away. Will check it out

ehh, was just a love tap noticed the old repair to the drivers wing is going south (30 years ago it got clipped by a passing trailer) so that can be added to the list Oh cam, haven't seen anything in the mail, just mentioning in case it went missing in the post. Otherwise no rush

Awesome, used daily is the only way for these Commer - The hallmark of reliability

Jumped in the truck this morning and attempted to start, turned over the first time and tried to catch. turned over a second time and the truck lurched slightly forward, so i killed power thinking somehow the gear had selected itself Then i notice a chap by my drivers door asking if i was ok, look in the mirror and here's his car nose deep under my deck By now hes panicking a bit, having seen the sight of me and the possibility of repairs to a vintage vehicle anyways, no damage to me, his bonnet slid under the two wooden deck rails that protude over my numberplate him - one of those impossible to pop out dents on the front lip of his bonnet keep on truckin

with a muesli bar?

people dont understand what arm signals are, so i usually resort to yelling just pass me you cunt
