What did you do with your Series 2 in October ...

[Gordon Lowe]

Fitted new tank to the SWB as I managed to put a small hole in the old one playing on an off road cause a couple of months ago.  Also Fitted new( second Hand) exhaust manifold with the studs in the right place,  unlike the old one that TPO had drilled out and tapped in the wrong place.

First time out and about! Trip to Lidl! Adventurous or what?!

I blew another fuse. Seems to be happening quite regularly now which is puzzling. I fitted a new wiring loom some time back and had no issues at all until recently. It may be coincidence, but I have been having a little trouble with my indicator light. My indicator has a small bulb in the end of the arm. Its been a little intermittent but seems to work with a bit of a fiddle. Bad earth was my reasoning. How would that cause a fuse to blow? Any other likely culprits?

Have you checked the flasher relay in the dash as it could be earthing on something or one of the 3 wires is not connected tight to it

I had a trial fit of my rear tub on my '61 SWB after fitting a new rear 1/4 chassis and found the alignment was 1/2" out at the bulkhead to the right. I measured the chassis all over and found the main rails were straight and within 2mm of each other in length so I'm satisfied my repair alignment was spot on. I figure the rear tub has lozenged when I put in a new floor after the chassis repair, so figure on tightening the rear cross member fixings and ratchet strapping the tub as close as I can to proper alignment.  I'll let you know how I get on.

Well, I gave it what for with two ratchet straps and got it aligned, drilled and bolted. That's a major tick on progress. Roll on next Friday when I can play again.

Not really today but over the last 2 weeks.

Many thanks to all who helped inform me about my no drive in hi range.

I removed the rear half shafts and found the short right side one twisted off in the differential.

So I ordered 2 new ones along with gaskets, new prop shaft nuts and bolts.

As I awaited these, I dismantled the differential which for me (79) was a new learning curve.

I was surprised at how easy the 63 year old nuts were to remove.

I then was able to drift out the broken stub.

When the new shafts arrived, I put everything back together having cleaned up whatever I could while awaiting the parts.

Yesterday, I finally was able to try it out. SUCCESS!

Picked up some new old stock genuine second row doors.

The seller has had them in his garage since the 70's!

Chuffed to bits with them.

Now that is a result! Well done!

[Mr Ed]

In my brother's Series IIA,
I removed and disassembled the rear differential, to install an ARB lock, it is my first time.

I have been learning the art of assembling and adjusting a differential, I have had to buy several tools, quite a challenge.

Nothing like a challenge to appreciate your capabilities

A time capsule! Mmm I remember when most stuff in the world was brown like that, or harvest gold or orange! At least you know they'll fit!

Picked the series up from the garage, accidentally dropped a bolt into the flywheel housing and they fished it out for me.

love the look of your motor
