Just got back from nights, so I can fit my numberplate, I could do with bringing the bull bar forward a bit but I'm pretty happy,

Thanks, it looks good on the pictures but it's not fantastic!

So today's work, finish drivers side arch,

Image

Image

Image

I had a look at the brakes too, it looks like the cylinders leaking,

Image

So any ideas where to get replacements?

I also noticed this,

Image

Just a crack in my filler neck! I guess I'll have to replace that too!

Well I thought o was almost done on this side, so I had a run round with a wire brush tool before I painted it and found.......

Image

Doh, so first things first, i decided to fit my new wheel cylinders, but the old brake pipe fitting wouldn't come undone so I ended up snipped the pipe, looking at the back plate it needs blasting and painting, so o tried to get it off, I got as far as this....

Image

So I guess I'll have to take my bearing off to get the plate off right?

Then with the brake work postponed, I realised I would have to drop the tank if I was to be welding any further back in that arch,

It came off surprisingly easy,
But I was glad to find this,

Image

My fuel gauge has always worked, but I can now see how they could easily pack up!

So I'm going to be doing some more cutting and welding, this piece,

Image

Can I just cut it off? It doesn't appear to do much?

And round the filler hole,

Image

Is it worth cutting the lot out? Or should I try to clean and paint it?
