Cornish Rattler Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Got a bit bored today so I decided to make a bracket to fit the pinpointer to the detector rather than having it on me and being in the way when bending down, pic's up to the bracket being undercoated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha will do once I get the gearbox done, just recently had a family crisis and had to use some of the gearbox recon money so once I've got it back I can get it done inc more pic's, looking at after Christmas now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cchase Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Too bad, but you have to take care of family first. The truck will always be there waiting for you to spend more $ on her! Cheers, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghound Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I love a bit of detecting myself, that Cscope you have there is a PI detector, they don't really discriminate out iron, so you basically dig everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cchase Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Patience is a necessary 'tool' with these trucks. Mine is on jackstands in the driveway while I wait for rear bearings to finish a rear brake renewal. (The ones I ordered did/would not fit - another story for another time!)

Yeah I've only used it twice since buying it at the end of summer so still getting used to it but I really like it and can't wait to do more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep deffo something not right there, think there are only two oil seals for a series early ones up to the eighties and late ones for through the eighties same as early Defender's.
