Inside frame bottom almost done.

You are literally creating something out of pretty much nothing...... Jolly good!

Amazing work!!

 

[Krenie]

Got the tub back on the frame yesterday. Going get the new mounts on an then work on the interior finish and then the exterior..... one more step...

 

[Bripars40]

Started removing my driver side knuckle in preparation for Longfields, new high steer arms and a general refresh on everything in the knuckles. My old 4x4labs high steer arms are built for more lift than I have now so they’ll be going up for sale soon.

Slowly getting smarter.

Installed vac gauge and wired the previously installed temp gauge for light that come on with the headlights.

Finally getting back to work on the STPCHLD. After a seized engine...

This 2F and 4spd (after cleanup):

Is going in this:

While we wait on the steering housing. Test fit the 6014 in her new home. Little clearancing (new word i learned on Mud hehehe), bolt holes and a few passes with the welder, be all good.

 

[Tancruiser]

Not too bad all things considered.

Had a custom hitch made... most I found dropped too low that would hit the rear step or stuck out too far and not allow any room for the step to be utilized. Now I can throw the Yakima bike rack on and take the 40 when mountain biking.

Fixed a fuel leak. seems I had an intermittent wet spot developing Between the carb and valve cover that I had not noticed until today. "Gosh, it sure is damp there, it can't ALL be oil leaking out from the valve cover". So i thought I'd just snug up that banjo that holds the fuel return line. But it didn't want to snuggle up, it just kept turning. "uh oh" sez I. So I got my spare carb parts box out. Naturally, I have a spare for that banjo bolt (IIRC, I have 1.338 completely disassembled carbs in that box). And this banjo bolt DID thread in, nice and tight, about as tight as you can with one hand on a 17mm endwrench.
Started it up, still leaking from that little bolt on the top of the banjo bolt, so I hit that with a 10mm for a quarter turn, and then all was dry again.
So now I'm worried about those threads for the banjo bolt in my airhorn.

Domed pistons?

 

[BenjaminCA]

Got the hard lines installed. Did a tutorial on the Eastwood flaring tool, such a rad piece of kit. Struggled with lines to the caliper, let me know if I did anything too stupid....

 

[Michael B]

12HT?

[SergP]

Domed pistons?
