The Rebuild

[hrpearce]

Went to Wagga this morning to pick up the T rubber I ordered for the windscreens. While I was there I bought another two profiles and used them to seal the hatch and take the anoying noise out of it. I got the pasenger windscreen cleaned and painted and the drivers side cleaned and one rusty corner patched with quick steel. Lastly I mounted a switch in the dash for the wiper.

If you get to the point that replacing the windshield frames need to be replaced and good condition CMP replacements are not readily available, here is how I got around the problem.

Thanks for the link Phil in this game all help is much apreciated.
Spent most of yesterday carting kids about and chasing the dollar but managed to get one windscreen back on and the other one sanded and painted.

for the hatch I used 50mm x 13mm then glued 13 x 2mm then 25 x 4, fits real well and seals. design taken off old hatch rubber.

Thanks Bob you explained that to me at Corowa this year, but as always I seam to leave things till the last minute and rego check is this Sunday morning and I grabed something quick to seal the hatch and quieten it down for the trip.
Today I got the drivers windscreen in and the wiper mounted and wired. I also disguised the spray rig so I wouldn't have to remove it. Tomorrow I nead to check the front wheel bearings and top up the break fluid and it should be ready.

Yesterday I adjusted the wheel bearings and the left king pin. I had to remove shims to get the left bearing tight but the right one was just a loose nut the locking washer wasen't bent right. The left king pin bearing required 0.071" of shiming to be added to tension it corectly and when they were added and tightened the oil leak at the back of the nuckle stoped.
I'm just back from the rego check and with the work done on the steering the blitz drove well, it was a pleasent drive.

G'day Robert,

Did the truck pass its rego check so it can now return to the road or does it need more work? Did you read the thread from a month or so ago about what can happen when the washer is not locked in place?

Kind Regards
