I'm still looking for some 4mm brass rod bout 200mm long. I'll check out a welding supply outfit for some thick bronzing wire. Plenty of time.
Hey does any know the wrecker out Leeston way. I saw his add in the buy-sell-exchange, but he wont answer his phone. I've left two messages on his answer phone. Oh well :roll:

Some new engine mounts to stop it moving about so much. Not much difference than solid mounting me thinks. I'll see how it feels...one day. I may go to rubber bushes

You poor bugger, that was such a nice looking wagon as well.

Hope you find a new body soon and get up and running again.

All good, it used to have Mini wheels with a duratorque axel, fitted leaf springs, new axel (with drop plates fitted upside down than usual), and larger wheels. I wanted to take it to Godley, oh well, next time

I had to make wheel wells wider, but also made them lower (not so deep) to give me more room on the inside, allowing the cooktop/sink to fold down lower, which then enabled it to swing up higher to a more user friendly height. :? hope that makes sense

Gutted man. Could have been worse though! Are you still going to come in someone elses wagon?

Camper looks boss. Used to take one of those up to Hamner behind the old mans P6B back in the day.
