178-065 " MR WORKSHOP "
« on: June 21, 2012, 08:51:57 PM »
Today was D-Day, picked up Mr Workshop.... I had to look twice a CEVA, there was another Workshop there, chap said it was on its way to Sydney.

Heres a few pictures of it, sorry i could not get Build details, he was in the process of loading it.




And on to Mr Workshop













I am missing a number of the tie down points for the canvas rope, can we still get these or alternatives, and also are they welded on?

I also have leaks on the hubs, are seal kits available???

Bet your happy to have Him home Juddy!, The tie points points are held on with blind rivets, just drill through them and the broken clips come off, you can find simular tie downs made by Moss, an internet search should find them, just use normal 3/16 rivets to replace them,
Hub seals are very easy to get too.

Hub seal replacement is not a huge job but will take some time, you will need new seals, locks and gaskets.
I think Moss make supplies for Caravans and probably ute body parts.

You should be able to see where it's at on the CEVA website, the tracking link should give you an ETA of where and when it's arriving.

Work started today, well this afternoon, and managed to get the tub of ( thanks MC for the telephone technical support ) a few rusted bolts holding the tub on, and had to get the grinder out for the shocks.....






Next up start cleaning and painting the rear, plus sort out the front drag rod, and exhaust...

I have noticed some kind of re- forcing plate on the arrowed part, was this standard??


Also the rear cross member is not the square military type was there a reason for this???

Hello Juddy,
I have seen the reinforcing plate on several workshops, Not sure why it was done though, Your rear crossmember looks to be the standard Australian Army 2A spec(correct for your LR) to me.

178-065 " MR WORKSHOP " A little more Work
« Reply #12 on: July 18, 2012, 09:08:29 AM »
Well Yesterday I did some more painting, removed the old cylinders, both look to be very good condition, and will be refurbished and kept as spares.

I had to remove the wheel bearing as it was leaking ( never done this before ) but i did not find it that difficult, I also got round to putting together the parts bath, just need some for fluid in it.....

G'day, your rear cross member is definately a 2A army cross member, but the next cross member with the reinforcing plate on it is a series 3 style cross member, the earlier 2a simply had a square cross member and looks like the late 2a had the series 3 cross member, make sense? A lot of series 3 modifications came through in the late series 2a's.

I'll try and put up a photo.

Restoration is starting to look good.

Regards
Scott
Lots...............
