So a new week and progress can be made
I started off with shimming the swivel housing pins and the torqued them correctly (no pics as you can't really notice anything). Next up was to fit the tracta seals and retaining brackets:  Click image to enlarge (Proof my blood and sweat is going into this project  )
Then it was onto fitting the hubs with new bearings and spacers (NOT TO SELF CHECK FOR PLAY ONCE AXLE FITTED AND STAKE NUTS) due to excessive movement when on axle stands. Click image to enlarge With all this going so well I thought it would be rude not too add a little bit more; steering tie rod, springs and Click image to enlarge Now 10 points for who spots my utter long moment in one of the above pics 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

So times up for the answer, if you look carefully you can see I had bolted the brake pipe bracket on backwards
However today was a new day and I had some time to play..................... so time for the new colour, I have alluded to what the colours will be and today I have put the first layer down on the bulkhead, a few small runs and a few areas I was hoping I wouldn't need to filler/sand etc will need redoing at some point but the first layer is on and once the weather dries up a little I have multiple parts to start bolting together.

Sometimes work can be useful
I only used it because my axle was blocked in by a load of trucks that can't move. Yea slowly coming a long loads more to do yet. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Small up date today as I've been flat out and not had a lot of time,
Today I swapped over the mismatch bolt collection added to move the chassis with new shinny stainless ones, also a new aframe balljoint assembly. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The loom is aftermarket from autosparks, it comes with the modern blade fuse holder. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

Hmm, are you sure that stainless bolts are correct for those applications? Unless they're properly rated I'd be inclined to stick with 8.8 mild steel ones in 'structural' locations. Darren
