The chassis was slowly being stripped with Graeme and Jills help. The gearbox and transfer case were removed along with the steering box and all mounts. The remote gear change and fulcrum were removed at this time as well. This fulcrum changes a push to a pull and vice- versa. This is because the engine and gearbox are behind the crew compartment facing rearwards with the radiator right at the back.

The chassis was almost bare by now except for the axles and a few fittings. The shock absorbers mount to the hull sides and to large fittings on each axle. The front axle mounts had been oxy cut off to be used as the spring mounts for the speedboat trailer. I was fortunate to locate a pair of mounts in South Australia 20+ years ago.
