Cornish Rattler Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Made another start on the 2a last weekend, split the roof from the sides and after lifting the roof off I removed the sides then undid the tub ready for when some came home from work to give us a lift to remove it off the chassis then son on his day off yesterday removed the front wings, this weekend I am hoping to get it to a bare chassis ready for the scrap man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Rattler Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just finished removing the axles, removing the springs from the axles and cutting up the chassis ready for the scrapman to collect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Based on recent comments on the Forum of the Series 2 Club, if you can I suggest hanging on to the old chassis remains until after you have had the chance to compare bracket positions between the old and the new. I'm a little surprised to see the steering relay in the scrap, also the rear grab handles, possibly even the rear tow bar arrangements should be saved. Regards.

The tow bar is an home made affair, the grab handles are coming off and the relay is quite stiff and notchie so will need replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prob's dave think it was just too hot in there and i just wanted to get everything out so i could have a good sweep up but realised i had left them on but i had put everything away by then so i will get them off in the week ready for the new chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Could I ask something please ? Would you be able to cut a square around your engine mounts and I could perhaps give you something for them? Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
