Default more rear axle..

when the brake plates were bolded on the new shoes could be placed, it look much beter now and work beter to (then the old ones).
it was only a time eating job to get the handbrake cabel and lever in place.
sometimes you need 3 hand to work with, but it is done.
I sandblasted the rear hubs and cleaned everything and put them together. hen hey where ready to put on the axle and a just the brake shoes now I can see it beter. when the rear axle is ready the rear springs can be done.

Default more on the restoration


Now the rear axle is ready, the rear springs are next on the workbends.
I took them apart and cleaned all the rust of and primed them. I also did all the braces and bolts to bolt the springs and the axle together.
I tested the front and rear shocks if they work properly and then gave them the same workover as every thing else. so now I am a little bit closer to putting together the axles and frame but first some

Default wheel rims..


Now the axles are ready the wheels are the next thing to do.
This took me about 1 1/2 hour to take one wheel apart the bolts I have to heat up, and then with a powertool turned them lose, very hard worke.
after the bolts where lose it took some force to get the tire to let go of the rim half. the front tires where war time tires of the run flat type. the rear tires where post war. in the front tires there where thike rubber wheels. and they where marked 1940 and W^D , I think they belong together with the run flat tires. So now I can start sandblasting the rims and paint them.
And finely the new tires could be put on the rims, this looks very nice now.
so time for a
cheers jaap
