Fitted the transmission to transfer bypass hose today, have been getting lots of oil in the transmission with the input seal weeping the tacho cable jumping, hopefully this will sort some of that out

More bits done yesterday, new brake shoes, springs, bearings and seals in the rear. I also upgraded the axle studs up to the 12.9 grade Allen screws for added strength.
Hey, just caught up with this. Good to see a Tassie Cruiser. Looks like you're doing a good job getting it up to scratch.
I like the 70 series bumper you got to fit. It was almost impossible to find a bumper in Tas when I removed the big bit of fence that was stuck on the front. Everyone had fitted bars years ago and chucked the old bumpers. My mates warned me I would need the front bar when I 'hit a big fella' - but not too many roos around here.
I've got the '4WD Tracks in Tasmania' book next to me here, staring at me, making me sick. Wish I was there. Greetings from Sausage Side. Todd

Thanks Todd, doing my best to keep her going. Your right about the stock bumpers all being thrown away ever to be seen again. 70 series is a nice and simple bar.

Rechecked and tightened front wheel bearings today. They had become loose after being worn in

Valve clearances today, and a new rock er cover gasket and seals, should help clean up a few oil leaks

Been doing a bit of work on the wiper motor. Mine failed, cracked around the hub where the metal shaft joins to the gear. I couldn't get a new one, so I got another used one but it was broken in the same place. So I took it to a machine shop and got them to make a press fit sleeve to fit over the hub to hold the sine together and keep it from turning in the hole. I then had to modify the gearbox cover to house the bigger hub. So now I have got this on the car and will see how well it lasts.

Put in some new rear brake cylinders and inner axle seals yesterday and today installed the 12 pin trailer plug along with switches for the trailer battery charger and trailer axillary. And a trailer breakaway battery monitor for in the cab.
