Loyd carrier progress

[Andrew Rowe]

Not being too much of an "expert'..., but should those wheels be around the other way!. The reason being you have put the castle nuts for the bogie pins to the outside which is correct, but also the grease nipples should be to the outside, and the flats of the spokes should be to the outside?....... or have I got my own Loyd on backwards? , or should I leave this comment until you have all 8 on and then you have heaps more wheels to change over! Cheers Andrew.

Andrew, he’s fitted the wheels to make the challenge of fitting the suspension unit on the loyd that more difficult, otherwise restoring a loyd would be easy and we would all be doing it

Andrew, the British wheel pins are threaded on both ends, the bogie as you see it in the photo is looking at its rear, note the webs on the road wheels. Your flanged wheel pins are going on my rear bogies as I’ve only got four original British ones.

You were just trying to trick me!. I new you were up to no good! If you had wanted pins with thread each end , you should have said, Cheers.

Those nut both end pins are better as it makes removal easier as you can hammer it either way when stuck !, every days a school day. :-)

Now you tell me :-)
I'll wave to you across the sea from QLD again on Monday, should be landing Sunday evening in Brisbane.

Al, Andrew has a crook shoulder so he won't be able to throw any over.

Things have progressed at a regular slow pace...see video my daughter and I did today.
