The Rebuild

[hrpearce]

Thank you for the replies. My computer has been in getting repaired for the last two weeks so I am just catching up. 99 threads have been updated since I last logged on.
To repair the strap I cut thread off a bolt and oxy welded it to the stub with about an inch of no.10 fencing wire. Yes I used rubber strip under the straps and grounding is not a problem as the senders don't work. I will take more pictures tomorrow.

After nearly four years of spraying with oil and heating occasionally the jack mentioned in post #53 finally came unstuck. I just need to buy new ball bearings for the base and then I can clean and paint it.

Rob is it only the balls that are crook or both cups, as your greg should come across replaced brgs with the correct size, or slightly bigger which are going in the bin, you won,t be using it every day.

Just the balls Bob, there were only six left in it when I got it. Good idea I'll ask Greg next time he phones home.
