Update!!!

Been waiting on parts so haven't been able to achieve much. However, i've got most of the parts now and thought i'd update on what i've done.


So far i've stripped, primed and painted all the props, front axle, steering box and fuel tank. didn't take many pictured as it's boring. I then proceeded to install new fuel and brake lines along the chassis, plus the rebuild kit for my calipers came in so i rebuilt them.




New brake lines and fuel lines. I only used the copper on the fuel lines NOT the brake lines, i used Knufier/ Copper, nickle for the brakes.


I got new flexi's all around.


Then i inspected and rebuilt the calipers (I've only done one at the moment). I didn't fully appreciate how well they turned out until i put it next to the non rebuilt one.




I then received my parts.
I've got new inner and outer wheel bearing, King pin bearing, Axle oil seal, wipers and seal, Carb rebuild kit with all the jets, new tie rod assembly, engine gasket and seal set, Rotor, points+condenser, Dis cap, Ht leads, plug, water pump, cam belt etc. You get the idea!




I also need to remove the engine from the vit i bought of Mike but didn't really want to buy a cheap hoist which use quite thin gauge steel so i made my own out of some thick walled scrap box sectio and the 12 Ton bottle jack from our press.
Not very good pics as it was dark.

Update!
Been a while since i've posted on here and thought i had done a more recent update, but turns out i haven't. So here it is!!
Since you last saw it i have finished all the brake and fuel lines, rebuilt the front axle with new bearings, seals and bolts and have reinstalled it on the chassis. I've also fitted a couple other misc parts like steering and shocks.
The chassis is now 95% finished with only the need of a few small bits like clipping some brake line and front shocks.

Here some pics>>











Reinstalled on chassis.




And here is what stage it is currently at.


Stripped the body down.


The next step is the body work but i do not feel comfortable doing this in a marquee as i won't be able to get the finish i want so i WILL be putting up a workshop this summer. The sj will be put on hold until i can finish it undercover. So i have put the body on the chassis and put all the bits inside and have started saving for the workshop. Don't know if ill post any pics of us doing the workshop unless you want to see?,but it won't be for a while yet.

Hi I'm new to all this. But we have had a SJ 410. For 25 years. And it's failed MOT on brake cylinders can you please let me know where you got them from. Thanks John

The usual answer to this is brakes international (www.brakeparts.co.uk) but at the moment they're out of stock on 410 cylinders. Not sure where to send you after that - have you tried euro car parts?
