Well, yesterday we managed to fit the handbrake to the chassis and get the bar connected that fits through the tunnel...... 😃 😃 😃



But then found.....

Gearbox oil in one of the brake drums...... May need to put new seals in there.. :cry:

Managed to shear a bolt that holds the handbrake cables to the centre bar.. :oops:

And worse of all, found that the solid petrol pipe coming out of the rear of the chassis has snapped... :shock: :cry:

Ah well, that's life 😞

That always seems to be the way!

A mornings work end up taking two whole weekends! :?

Last night I managed to...

Remove the sheared bolt from the bulkhead and clean up the thread. 😃

Replace the handbrake cable that had the split in the conduit. 😃

Anyway a question...

What size is the thread on the handbrake cable ? I've got a couple of 6mm nuts but they don't seem to go on smoothly. :? Is it a metric thread or imperial size ?


Thanks

That's always the way. Can't wait to see it finished Chris.

Don't get too excited, it's not going to be in the same league as George's cabrio... 😞

To be honest, I can't wait to see it finished either, if only for the wait I've had with it... and to stop spending money on it. :roll:

Anyway, back in the garage when the Mrs gets home from work... 😃
