Restore a Morris or keep fit
Off to the abrasive blaster in the 6x4 trailer for a chassis cleanup. The 4 wheels are finally apart after a lot of sweat and tears and two blown up Aldi angle grinders
 The wheels are getting a blast as well .

sights
At the sandblaster today, I noticed the local RSL have their 25 pounder gun in for a refurbish - a sandblast and a paint . The gun is looking a little tatty in its faded and not so waterproof light stone finish . I'm not sure of its providence but I see it has no muzzle brake . I will take some pics if anyone needs info.
During one of my early VMVC trips we visited a CMF unit, they had a 25 pounder parked in the yard and the soldiers there noted that our club's 25 ( towed behind a F15A) was in better shape than theirs

rear axle
Been stripping down the rear axle . The large hub bearings are in excellent shape thank goodness. This is a solid piece of engineering. One oddity I've never seen before is: the brake shoes are a aluminium casting . The drums could do with a skim and the linings are worn thin . The hand brake mechanism on the CS8 is quite involved and I believe it will be effective .
The original copper brake pipes , I have mentioned they used only single flared ends . This is a weird idea but it must have been OK at the time.

Morris C8
Hi Mike and best of luck with the resto, just got my C8 road worthy and legal yesterday. Still having problems with the air/fuel mixture which I believe will lead me to another carbi as the carbi fitted seems to have a problem getting the idle and fuel mix as it should be.
