Normandy 2014
Guys, my truck wouldnt be ready by 2014. Possibly ready for centenary of ANZAC in 2015, but nowhere near done in 2014. Even if it could be done, the cost would put it beyond my reach. Then there's the time I would need to be away from work.
Shame though.

Work of last Sunday
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, chassis still not home, BUT will be blasted during this week and I will be going there on Saturday to reassemble the bits that will need to be in place prior to the making of the new crossmember for rear. That will be manufactured next week.
Passenger step 1.jpg So, once again, I go on with other parts for now, including finally finishing the passenger side step assembly. This step tread not quite as good as driver side, and i'm not greatly impressed with the finished product, but there you have it! New fuel filter.jpg This is the new fuel filter finished. Remember it will be hidden on inside of the chassis, with an original but non-functioning filter in place on the driver step assembly behind the battery. At least if anyone does see the new one, it will be in the right color. Booster actuator clip.jpg I stumbled across another old booster I had forgotten I had, and found the exact part I was needing for securing the actuator piece. Yaaaay! Steering box painted 1.jpg Also got the sector shaft seal out of the steering box and then got the thing painted. It's now awaiting new seal, bearing and shims/gaskets from MacsAuto. Those should arrive around mid week. Box will be reassembled this weekend, all going well. Drag link painted 1.jpg Drag link is now finished also, requiring replacement of only one of the ball cups (and new grease nipples of course).

Gearbox mounted air compresor - PARTS NEEDED
Tyre Pump 1.jpg
Started tidying up the gearbox mounted tyre pump. This was given to me by a good friend who didn't want it. Tyre Pump 2.jpg I am looking for the bushing that goes on the piston connecting rod, and also the cover that goes over this assembly. If you have either of these to sell, please send me a message and i'll be happy to buy it/them from you. Cheers!

If it's a bronze bush you are after , you can buy them in standard imperial sizes at most industrial bearing suppliers . Mike

IMPORTANT - Steering box parts from MacsAuto
My steering box parts from Macs arrived today.
While the part numbers are identical, the sector shaft seal & worm gear are NOT CORRECT PARTS FOR CMP. I have added this information to my original post where I first mentioned the part numbers and supplier. I can't believe this scenario. Basically I have been waiting for over 2 weeks for stuff I cannot use. I'm really very pissed off about this. Starting to understand why a lot of people simply do not go to this extent with restoration. Can't be bothered with playing hide & seek anymore, so sod the damn things. I'll make a call tomorrow to Ross Prince, and hopefully save myself a lot of stuffing around! I can feel a little 'blitz free' time coming up soon. Maybe my motivation will return after a bit of a break from the weekly dose of dissapointments.

Scott
What a stroke of luck!
Scott, i'm on Southern Cross website now, ordering one. Thanks for bringing that to my attention  I can't believe Southern Cross Militaria have a bloody Sherman Tank for sale. Wish I had the money. Those things are sooooo easy to park. Just put it anywhere you want, and on whatever you want too. Would be $50,000 well spent for a great gate guardian. Turret facing down the road where boy racers come flying along, of course.

Steering sector oil seals - Ford 375 series box
As expected, Ross Prince to the rescue again.
He has the seal I needed, and a bloody good price too  I'll get that at the Canungra meet weekend. I believe Ross will be attending again this year.
