Well here we go... Some pics and updates from this year, some things I forgot to take pics of, like the cam plate install etc... But never the less here we go

Well after much grunting wheezing and generally wanting to kill myself, I got the centre axle un seized and removed. Once out it was easy enough to clean with grinder and wire wheel, it was then re painted ready for re installation.
At the same time the axle was removed, I pulled the rollers and cleaned them up, give them a quick flash over and rebuilt and placed back in the hull, complete with new high tensile bolts. A good pal from Canada came good with some NOS leather gaiters which were put on once the axle was back in.

A quick flash over


And returned back to the hull

Amongst that most of the work of late has been cleaning and re introducing bits to the hull, including the rear bell cranks for the brakes
Seen here stripped down and brushed with wire wheel on grinder
