Engine Parts
My NOS valves arrived today.
NOS Set x16 Valves 1.jpg NOS Set x16 Valves 2.jpg So did the new main bearings. NOS Main Bearing Set 002thou undersize crank.jpg Here are the recently arrived con rod bearings, STD size. NOS Con-Rod Bearing Set STD size.jpg Couldn't resist making the first new full valve set. Only another 15 to go. First new valvetrain.jpg Normally I would do this inside in the evening, but if I start removing all the protective mucus from the valves on the loungeroom floor, I won't be very popular. My wife can't stand the smell of turpentine, nor does she like the cosmoline smell. Guess i'm waiting until tomorrow then.

Spare Front Axle
Yesterday I took some tools (no one you'd know
 ) and bought a spare front axle, as a 'just in case' for the future. A reasonable buy at $100.Spare Front End 300513 1.jpg Spare Front End 300513 2.jpg It was virtually unmolested, but has had replacement brake hoses at some time. Unfortunately it doesn't have the lifting flanges that I wanted, so I continue the search for those. Incidentally, One of the hubs was stuck fast to the brake shoes, and had to be removed for a cleanup before I could roll it to it's resting place. When I removed the hub cap I found that this axle has the same system of locking hub nuts as Phil showed in his earlier photos. That being; Twin hub nuts with a double layer of lock ring between, and a keyed washer installed before the nuts. There is also holes through the thread for a cotter pin and castle nut, so I suppose it could use that method as well.
