Default Winch Handbrake completed:

Finished making and fitting the complete main chassis winch handbrake today.
Using some NOS parts from USA but mainly scratch built bits. A few photos of the process and using card template to design pivot bracketry.

Default Wrecler SOLD

After 7 years of adventures, the C60s Wrecker moved west to new owner today.
Highlights of ownership were definitely taking it to the Dieppe Anniversary event in 2017.

Id post some photos...but cannot get them to load onto MLU
