Had a bit of time on my hands Sunday. Power company were working on the network, so no mains power for virtually all day and I had to stay on solar power. The solar is fine for virtually all week (stand alone system) but with no alternative yesterday, I was restricted to nothing more draining than a small angle grinder.

With that in mind, I turned my attention to the front axle bumpers. The originals are not salvagable and must be replaced.

Many months ago, I bought two new rubber bumpers, that only needed to have the rebate cut into one side to accomodate the shape of the brackets. Very simple job and very quick to do.

The cleaning of the bolts & associated hardware was more time consuming. Normally would use the blasting cabinet to clean something like these, but not able to this time.
