No they are made of timber. But a one ton ute? I do know there is a demand.

Default Nice work.

Those are some really good looking mufflers and pipes. Must be great to have all the tools you need. Keep up the beautiful work.

Yes Jon, having the tools and equipment is the main part of it and a good workshop of course.
Thankyou Dave but the above sentence is the answer!
I gave the underside a lick of green prior to overturning as it just makes sense and the cammo part that is behind the wheel station. In fact the complete double bogie is done in the light stone according to the book.
As I was about to fit the diff I noticed that the spacer plate was missing and I never had a spare so I borrowed one and reproduced one. I guess I should have done two but that's life.

The diff is in place with some bolts in. I'll finish that part tomorrow.

True but without the skills and the vision to use the tools at hand they are kind of useless

Having the knowledge to install the mufflers before reattaching the differential is almost as good as knowing to install the cross tube rollers before the cross tube. To say nothing of the speed change linkage under the cross tube. Dare I mention the hull exhaust castings angled in the correct direction...
Nice work Colin. Thank-you for posting with pictures. Now, about that UC MK-I* hull . . .

I had to remove my diff as I forgot to install the spacers but all good now. Stripped the backing plates and installed them that is after they were blasted and painted. the shoes will go in on Monday to get reshod and the drums machined.
I also have fully refurbished the cam, followers and the bearings. The side rollers were installed as well. Doesn't look like a lot but I'm quite happy with my effort today.
Colin.
