i need a new t box mount so i will use a few odd rubber bush's like the sj boys do and see how it goes

Looks good. Those new shaped tail light fillers look smart. What's the vent thing about the wheelarch for?

well i went to unipart to pick up the steering idler and the blue print one was the same so they must get there's from the same supplier as milners.
got the steering box back on,had abit of trouble getting the power steering pipe's back on antill the wife says"do they go on the other way" ,got all the front end back on,prop on and fitted my new t box mount 8) ,i sanded down the rear end as i was getting alot of rust from the cheap paint i first used so now its all red oxide at the moment.
found out the reson for my power loss,it was not idling right(550rpm)so i had to wind in the idle up knob so it would idle around 750rpm,so i wound in the max power screw half a turn and its almost as good as it was


got the steering wheel on upside down when i refitted the steering box

steering wheel looks easy to mod so i can fit a better one

truck passed the mot today with just 3 advisory's.
near side and off side front suspension has slight play in a upper ball joint and oil leak.

my indicators came just in time to fit them and go off for the mot.










now i have my power back it has shown that i now have fuel starvation as on the way to the mot i gave it a hard time and after a long run on full throttle it started to dye as it was not getting enough fuel

[parrotveasey81]

got abit done today,sanded down the bad paint and recoat'd in red oxide,found the oil leak(steering box adjusting nut had come loose )fitted a fire extinguisher,fitted in the same holes that the grab handle use's 8) ,changed the fuel filter as it had bad fuel starvation today,it was hard to prime the fuel system so i dropped the tank to see if it was blocked,nope all clear but does seam to go better now but then i did have another with the pump timing and max power screw,fan works great as i tested it today to see how good it works for sunday.








front tyres are getting low
