rear diff cover work
With the cooler weather in the morning I started work on the rear armoured diff cover. This required a lot of heat to removed some broken studs, straighten brackets and straighten the angle iron that secures it to the rear stowage box shelf.
This armoured cover has a mounting block welded to the inside, not sure what it is for, possible the diff breather hose. Have asked the question on MLU. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21602 Carefully cut the mudguards off with the angle grinder and this allowed me to straighten the angle iron. This BGC is fitted with a shorter, curved 1/4" thick rear mudguard. I have not seen too many BGC with this. Most are flat and a little bit thinner in construction. Just an observation, just that bit harder to panel beat. Positioned my NOS 42 & 43 shovel to check the fit and brackets that I will fabricate soon, a tight fit between the exhaust pipe outlets and where the shovel is. Next step will be to fabricate the missing brackets and weld them on, them straighten and weld on the rear mudguards. Then off to the sandblasters for a clean up.
