Default Nose and Rear Axles

Hi

Working on an CMP is just so much more fun when you can actually see the progress. But the restoration lesson for the day is sort and label the parts and only have one storage area for the parts. Still wasting time looking for parts I know just seen. Same game as always putting the tools back in the tool box.

Today's goal was to get the nose on and the rear axle shafts in place. As you can see from the photos hoisting the nose is a mater of couple of cargo straps two hooked in the vents and centered to the hoist and one to the front of the nose so that the nose hangs horizontal right to left and vertical along the back. (one caution loop one of the straps around the hoist hook so that the load of the nose can not slip to one side or the other.)

One tip remove the brake peddle so that the curve of the wheel well can come straight down. Once the nose is bolted it you can slip the peddle back on easily.

Cheers Phil
