Default Get your motor running, head out on the highway.......

Slow weekend on the restoration front.

Took all the diff bearings down to the local bearing shop, the crown wheel bearings were in stock but the pinion bearings have to come ex-Melbourne. The roller bearing for the pinion might prove a little challenging so may have to resort to using US supplier.

Spent the afternoon straightening all the cooling fins on the oil cooler test fitted today with pipes before I remake at one that has a nasty crush injury.

Then spent an hour hunting around the shed looking for the pipe bender, before giving up and started pulling down the engine. Now , where did I leave my engine stand......
