    Blimey, I’ve just seen this. I can confirm the tracks worked brilliantly and I know the owner after 7 years is still using the same tracks

    Patric, be careful with those seals you’ve left on the rear stub axle, unless you have replacements you may need to reuse if they are not too bad! I am finding them very difficult to get hold of. cheers, Byron

    Thank you Patric. I’m having great fun with the weasel. I have to say, I’m very lucky my fiancé is understanding with my passions too.

    The new floors are folded and tack welded in place, along with repairs that needed to be made before the floors were laid.

    Progress has slowed up a little as I have been waiting on parts to rebuild the engine so I have deviated and nearly completed the dash and put both front support bogies back together. I’d forgotten how much grease it took to pack these hubs out with.

    Great to see some more pictures Patrick. good work! Surely these vehicles will be looked after from now on and dry stored so I hope they won’t need to go through this again! Byron

    Recently it’s been complete disassembly of the engine to be machined, a good thorougher clean and now to start reassemble.

    Well done Fred, I’ll look forward to seeing some pictures. The bushes are made, fitted and all painted up. I’ve yet to post some pictures on my restoration thead Beater with a heater... I like that!! wow, I love the fact you use yours for exploring too, that sounds fun!

    A few more little jobs completed. The Carb has been to peace’s and cleaned all the components, making new gaskets along the way. The regulator base has been preened and the top crackle blacked. Luckily the guts inside are like new. the windscreen components are all cleaned, painted and refitted. The wiper motors have been completed dissembled, freed up and bench tested. 3 wiper blades yet to fit.

    Thank you Fred for the tip. I wish I had known that before. I’ve turned some up in the lathe now. Thank you for your knowledge though, hopefully other guys will read this and use that information. how far through are you with your restoration? cheers, Byron

    Thank you Patric, it functions without a Jack. I’m using a decent threaded bar with a decent size spanner though. It will be brilliant for the painting whe the welding is all done.
  15. Byron
    Thank you Again Jesse. I will try that! Yes it was the screw in plug I was trying to describe. I couldn’t find it in the parts manual.
  16. Byron
    Brilliant, thank you Jesse for the photo. Does the piping get cut where it hooks into the side of the hull? I was wondering if yours is the same as Johns i don’t think I fitted the part on my last weasel.... whoops. I have the clamping plates this time so I’ll look forward to doing this.

    A good rotary jig for the repairs on the hull, slightly over engineered but this is going to make life super easy. higher and lower option on the threaded bar and obviously full rotation.

    It’s been a busy few afternoons on the weasel:- Most of the suspension and bogie parts are blast cleaned and primed A table full of engine ancillary goodies, all stripped, cleaned, tested what I can, primed, top coated.

    Hi Dan, thanks for your reply. Can you see these fuel jets have threaded plugs in to block them. They look well made. do you think these should be taken out? cheers, Byron
  20. Byron
    Great pictures John, I love looking through the other restoration pics. Did the tanks line up ok after all their work?

    HI Guys, Manifold question if any one knows the answer. i took the manifold pipes off to clean and the fuel jets have specifically made bungs to block them. I guess this is not correct? I can’t see these in the parts manual. Do I leave them in or take them out? I wanted to get the priming system working. Cheers, Byron
  23. Byron
    Amazing work, I bet you looking forward to bolting them on. Great pictures of all your work 👌
  24. Byron
    Thank you John, I really enjoy working on her in the evenings when I can. how are you getting on with filling your hull up with The OD goodies? Your at the really fun stage no my opinion. Cool lights. I bet they are as rare as hens teeth. I wonder how they all get mixed up! cheers, Byron

    This afternoon was a success getting the seized stater Motor stripped, cleaned and working. A wire had also broken off in the solenoid which needed soldering back. Ready for som paint 🎨 IMG_2322.MOV
