Re: Restoration
I've been concentrating on cleaning the rust off so hadn't rushed to look inside. Received my first order of new bits n bobs, inc. diff cover gasket, so opened up for inspection. https://i.postimg.cc/44DvLC3z/IMG-20240515-125555.jpg All looks perfectly fine. No sign of wear or anything to worry abou...

Re: Restoration
Today was as predicted, a repeat of yesterday; however, I managed to unbolt the drive flange without shearing any of the bolts this time. It took a lot of heat and perseverance with the rattle gun but eventually, I got all 6 bolts out undamaged. The rest was just repetition of what I did before. I g...

Re: Restoration
Back on the Salisbury axle today. What a struggle. I spent a good couple of hours fighting the bolts holding the drive flange in place. This was after already having to resort to chiseling off the hub cap which had rusted on solid. I tried heat, penetrant, shock, psychic commands, and harsh words, b...

Re: Restoration
I decided to clean the old paint and surface rust off of the axle case and final drive unit as my my next job, so today was rear axle day. It was the usual one man struggle getting the axle up to working height; the 2 tonne engine crane does a wonderful job at lifting but is a right b'stard to move ...

Re: UJs for rear prop shaft
Nope, I just wanted a number for the rear 109V8 propshaft UJs. I only mentioned the words 'spider' and 'hardy spicer' for those pedantic souls that might tell me not to call them Universal Joints (UJs). Thanks very much for your reply, I was unsure if the part number you quote was applicable to the ...

UJs for rear prop shaft
Does anyone know where I can find the correct part number for replacement UJs (spider/hardy spicer joints) for the rear prop?

Re: Restoration
After a lot of struggling alone I got some help, together it was not too hard to lift it out of the way. https://i.postimg.cc/P5h6TvRR/IMG-20240429-155357.jpg I decided to sort the rear axle before starting on the tub, so with it now out of the way, I got to work jacking the rear end of the chassis ...

Re: Restoration
Having been pondering next steps, I decided to first off, get the rear tub emptied of everything sitting in it and reorganise my workspace. Actually, the tub isn't that heavy, but it is a pretty awkward thing to lift and manoeuvre without at least 2 people. However, I could pivot it off off the rear...

Re: Restoration
Thanks for your help. That would work well "if" the chassis was on wheels and could be rolled. Of course, in my scenario, I need the tub out of the way so that I can work on the chassis, remove the rear axle, springs, etc., while it's under cover. Not a problem though as I'll shift the tub...

Re: Restoration
After fixing my house central heating/hot water system, I managed to find time to have another look at my tub First things was to pull the rear light wiring through, then free the stays at the front from the seat belt anchor points, and the 2 stays for the side seals. It was then a matter of jacking...

Re: Restoration
Since all my efforts thus far have been at the front end of the vehicle, it's about time I did a bit more on the back half. I've obviously got to finish off several jobs I started but have not finished, but taking a linear approach makes for pretty slow progress. I need to get the tub off to move fo...

Re: Restoration
Set timing today, took all of 3 mins! Oil pressure steady 30psi at idle. Not sure of temp but seems ok, cold/hot gauge normal. Trying to decide next job to get on with now.

Re: Restoration
Here's a short video of first start up having connected up the fuel pump fed from a fuel can. I'd primed the fuel system and this was first of the ignition key after that.

Re: Restoration
Put some fuel in the carb and cranked the engine, it fired and purred! :D I need to get a strobe and adjust the timing, but it sound lovely. Only stressful moment was a small fire at the carb after getting greedy and adding a bit more fuel :eek:. Won't be doing that again, good job I was prepared fo...
