Seedy Al Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Not much of an update Cam is picking me up a head of CXGpwr this weekend so hopefully its better than the one i have, and if so will get checked and decked Also the window winder on the drivers side was shot, so pulled it apart, found flogged out spindle bush, which had caused the teeth on the gear to flatten So welded up the teeth and will reshape with grinder and files And get bush remade yum Welding them Up I clamped a flat peice of alloy on the back to keep shape, as mig steel wont weld well to alloy. and then flipped over and Oxy weled the other side to get heat and good penration on then And this yuck engine bay Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
