Clive thank you. I did wonder how that suspension was going to work with a jack. At least a 6T Bottle Jack is sufficient rating for lifting a wheel!

I note the point on screw against hydraulic.

Depending on the settings of the torsion bar, the centre of the wheel has the potential to be up to 4" below or 4" above the axis of the main axle. So there is plenty of travel. If you want to see it on maximum droop see the picture in Pig in a Poke

In case anyone wonders who my friend Wally is, it is the brand name of an Italian compressed air sparking plug cleaner I use.

Saw Piggy on 28th March and noticed a few things, but did take two batteries and connected up. Got an ignition panel light and she turned over................





Isolated the fuel as what was in one tank smelt like old gloss paint in a tin???? The fuel filter was fuel of old fuel, but no filter?



I had identified something in the rear storage locker under floor that transpired to be these items.















Lots of other images taken to follow;

Removing an awful lot of Gunge and it was evident that a historic custodian (Not PO) had painted some parts in the engine bay in DBG as I guess he didn't want to buy some SKy Blue?





The internal relay and switches cover identified a couple of non standard alterations?
