I haven't really been doing much on the truck. Finding it really hard to get any enthusiasm for the job. I think if I can actually get started, I will get back into it.
I have to make a couple of small aluminium spacers for the carby accelerator plungers, which will allow me to start the truck, run the hydraulics to change a blown hose on the Abbey crane then use the crane to refit the winch and transfer case. The tiniest thing.
I tried using the replacement plungers that come in the rebuild kits but the shafts are too short. You can't fit the return springs and I'm not cutting them down. Also can't dismantle the new plungers to use the buckets on the shafts I made, but a local car parts place just started stocking a line of replacement bits for Stromberg carbs. I got 2 replacement synthetic buckets for $17, I think it was.
I have 16 days off over Christmas and New Year, so hopefully I'll get back at it then.
Greg.
