Underside painted. For those doing their first one there's a couple of pics showing inside the drum and where the rear brake clevis bracket should be to get max pull.

Diff completed with drums and axles. Exhaust in and finished as with the pioneer plate. Quite happy with my effort today.

Charlie,I have'nt put my tools away they're just in a pile out of the camera view Hi Dale, the pioneer plate is secured by a series of bolts along the top where the tow tongue is and 2 bolts either side at the bottom through a small angle.
Acually, I do stop every now and then and put my tools away and blow all the dust away with my compressor, otherwise it's just so frustrating when you put something down then all of a sudden, the shed Gremlin hides it. I'm sure "Everone" has a clean shed with everything in its place.
Colin.

hi Colin,
Mine is not exactly clean, but always put everything away at night, so that it is in the right place next morning. That way you tend to know if something is missing and it can be narrowed down to when last used.

Very impressed with your work, you must enjoy it.


Richard

Hi all, Richard I do enjoy doing this sort of work. Sorry for the lack of pics lately but one of my kids had my camera and just seemed to forget where they used it. All good now I got it back.
Front idler wheels on.
Cross shaft in.
Cam assembly refurbed and installed.
Single wheel stations refurbed and ready for installation.
Springs for above ready for assembly.

Hi all, fitting the single wheel stations and assembly of the springs. Having a spring compressor eliminated the possibility of death or serious injury as these are under immense pressure during assembly. I have done it before without a compressor but it's scary.
