Hi Mark Just sent you a PM Cheers Marcus

Arghhh - missed the traffic, but completely forgot about the meeting (silly busy day), think we're away in Aug, I'll do my best to make September but it may well clash with another group I go to. Bother!

Exhaust gasket gone? If you hold a thin piece of tissue paper in a pair of pliers & move it around the exhaust gasket do you see the paper flutter around one in particular?

Hi & welcome - good luck with the build (when it arrives)

Good to hear - back at work today & first chance to log in here for a few days...... work does have some advantages eh?

I'll try to pop in - I'm in Coventry & Nuneaton on Wednesday though & I'm not sure what time I'll be done there

^^^ Got the wheel nuts that came from GBS & it looks like they're deep enough - will double check, but good thought. Now on to changing the wheel bearing for the other side - done a few of those in the past so should be ok.

Got one side back together & it's many many years since I've counted to 11 with so much concentration - but 11 it is!!!

^^^ Good to hear - don't push yourself too hard though.

Don't think the price is too high, shame you haven't time to keep going with it - what you've done looks good. Best of luck with the sale

Hope you feel better soon - at least you've got something to take a look at while you try & back off the pace a bit.

Ooo - dangerous shop, mustn't look - credit card taken too much of a battering recently

That's got to be the best on the list this year - congratulations!! Hope all are well?

Thanks for the heads up - if we get a few clear hours might pop down.

Good to know, one thing off the shopping list for now then.

Are you thinking that we could have two plates then, the GBS one and a simple one for the IVA man - is that allowed?

Yep we're a luck bunch eh? (no offence intended Peter2b2002). Spent the day with my M&D, just got my daughter off to bed & the boys are getting ready for bed now ...... so where's that DVD remote......

No o o o ..... must ...... resist ....... temptation......must.............resist................

Great thanks - I'll be counting turns when I get the half shafts back in then (hope its over 10 after all this!!)

So go on then, what did we get? I'll kick things off: deodorant (predictable), Thornton's toffee (nice) & Dr Who box sets from the re-launch onwards (Excellent!! - good job I've got a DVD player in the garage)

There's a Snow Trac in storage at the place where we keep our Tin Tent, must resist asking if it's for sale, got a Zero to build, a '59 SII Landrover to play with before I take on another toy!

Interesting that - I actually wimped out & had a chat with my local indy yesterday (that looks after our other cars) after sheeting another stud. I took the driveshafts out of the Zero & dropped them in. They did basically the same as you - they reamed the holes out a little, then pushed the studs through with their 25tonne press (& apparently blew a seal on that!). Pardon my naivety, but in your example above, does that mean that 8 turns (12/1.5) is the minimum number of turns required for engagement? While they were doing the studs, they also noticed that once of the wheel bearings isn't running very smooth so guess what's just been added to the job's list!

Looking good

It's more finished than mine!

Just finished reading it (might start work soon!), it's really helpful as a check guide.
