cheers for that. all advice is always welcomed.... have not drilled any holes as you can see, i wanted to use my previous ones. they did not have the holes drilled in the front, i was wondering if the fenders you got were from a T16 ? if not they have been drilled for the extra guards on the front.
struggling like hell with the brake drum i had a puller on it tonight, placed the nut back onto the drive tube wound it on flush then made a spreader to go across the tube. the puller fitted perfect. had some serious presure on it, but she still wont let go, i have sprayed tonnes of penetrating oil in the hub. think i will pull the whole drive assembly and get it pressed off somewhere.
need to get a hoist from a hire firm or somewhere so i can pull the lump out too. at the minute she looks in a right mess, i am desperate to get her as an empty tub so i can blast and etch prime her, but these things take time and i dont want to lose or snap anything in the strip down. still need some acurate patterns for the armour so i can get them cut / machined
so much to do but its all great ! i spend more time just staring at the damned thing i should get my finger out hahahaha
