Default Lew

We (the Kiwi's) fitted them the opposite way to the Australians. I dont know what the reasoning was. I guess we just knew they'd be wrong

Default

We had this discussion some while ago. I rushed to check mine and thankfully they were as the experts had decided is correct as per the original fitting instructions and pictures. (Smiling I suppose). Although either way will work.

Default smile or frown

Tracks going on tomorrow, have been looking at them and wasn't sure if they smile or frown when looked at from the front,

Put them back on with a smile as when you collected Euclid?

Default some more photos

putting on the track, read up on Bob's track orientation thread. No track tools just a couple of stops and an endless chain. Ended up fitting them as they had come off but swapped them from one side to the other, thanks for the prompt Micheal.

Default few more photos

fitted the front seats, found it easier to bolt down the outer seat mounts then fit the rest of the seat to them and then bolt down the inner mounts. Rear drivers side fuel tank fitted as is the seat base, will fit the gunners tank after the air scoop goes in ( it looks like there will be more room for the oil cooler lines that way, also found that the air scoop was put together incorrectly so did some de construction and rebuilding, also got keen and made all the fittings for the rear of the scoop, really glad as it looks way better than how it was.

Default last couple of photos for today

got busy and cut the bottom off the dash panel as it was rusty as, welded in some new old steel and with a bit of bog and grinding it will be just like new.
Also have fitted all the other bits into the front compartment, drivers box, pedal control rods and guards, so much comfortable when the seats are in.
Off to a craft show tomorrw with the wife and kids to earn brownie points for all the time spent in the garage over the last few days.......
