Well it's been a slow week. In some discomfort so everything is hard work, but I've got the garage tidied again so I can get in there. Got the middle child (2)to scrub the mildew off the truck some water and a sponge and he loved getting soaking wet. Sorted the drivers window out which had stared to drop needed a new glass bracket bloody passenger side has started now but I've not got a spare bracket for that side so might have to make something.
Got the used front axle I bought into the garage and had a look at it. Looks like I've got some spares, not too sure if the axle is straight. The drag link is bent out and the whole reason I bought it was cos it was spring under but the saddles are bent, looks like from a heavy side impact but defiantly both leaning to the same side. Also they're curved around the axle. Might have been over tightened a bit! So this week will mostly be making some more saddles to go onto my existing axle(when the spoa was done they cut off the original saddles!?!?!?) bump stop spacers for the front.
A long shot I know but does anyone have one of the little channel things that holds the glass onto the regulator? I need one for the passenger door.
