No... Apparently I over worked my new hip doing the shed... Surgeon was cranky, said I have to take it very easy for 6 months. Most of his patients are proper old farts and just watch TV or a fish tank for a year after surgery.... I'm ok ish, just pain every step, and kneeling/bending is s**t. (now more pain than before the operation) No painkillers (apparently, they are addictive...) I will get back into it soon, just very aware that I get zero sympathy from wifey if I f**k it up again... (or the doctor...) Cheers Dave

What's the date stamp on the Treps? They get hard after sitting a while... (Motorcycle background, I have brand new never used 5+ year old tyres on a project bike. They will go in the bin prior to riding the bike...😐) Cheers Dave -
With my ghetto plating method, you could just dip the machined surface into the solution. So only the very end of the stud is subject to any witchcraft. Probably...😁 Cheers Dave

It's the humidity and proximity to the sea that gets us... I got a chunk of Zinc from a boat shop, used an old phone charger and some hydrochloric acid. Puts a light coat of zinc on whatever you dunk in it (overnight) Plenty YouTube videos showing how to. Cheers Dave

Keep it simple. Refresh all of the ignition. New plugs, leads, distributor cap, points, condenser. Set valve clearances, set timing. Make sure carburetor is performing properly. (replace if not) The 2.5 is more than enough for your needs/driving style. Cheers Dave -

My carburetor was corroded inside. Cleaned it many times, but it was always giving poor running. A new carb and it was like a new car.

I had a 2.5 petrol County in the UAE. It was bad at first. Then fully serviced, new carburetor, top end de-coke (remove head, clean everything, reassemble with new gaskets etc) After this it was excellent. So, I would just do this to your car. Much cheaper than an engine swap. Cheers Dave -
What's the purpose of a diode in your trailer wiring? Stop back feed to the car? What and why? 🤔 Cheers Dave

It's cool that your uncle gets to see you enjoy/improve your inheritance! You can take him mud plugging when it's fixed! Post pix here. Cheers Dave -
Hey guys, I'm treating myself to a two post lift! Looking at the 110 chassis on my project, the only flat areas are about a metre apart. Is this the best area to lift from? (I've chopped the rear end off so virtually no overhang) May be nose heavy... Or do I go off the outriggers? (not flat underneath) Maybe make some wood adaptors to conform with the underside of the outriggers? I'll obviously wobble test first 100mm off the ground, just wondering what you lot do. Cheers Dave
