This morning I set to removing the alternator again to get the part number etc, while I had it off I thought I may as well pull the back off it again to double check I was happy of everything, glad I did!!! The reason for it not working was due to the replacement pin that I used (in this case a...

Cheers, I will get the info off it tomorrow and have a look

Overhaul kit sounds the ticket, I never new you could get one, where will I be able to get one from?

Well today I did the test, the bulb came on when I ground the brown/yellow wire. And on looking I found that connection to not be too good either so replaced that one as well. On refitting I noticed the stud that it fits too was loose, so pulled the alternator out to have a better look, the stud...

Ok, I am ordering the front and rear tank outriggers today and have a few questions. These come on a back plate if you like but how do you weld them to the chassis? Do you just surface mount them or cut them into the chassis for a flush finish? The other question is regarding the dumb iron I...

I will post some tomorrow if it stays dry.

Been and done a bit this morning before it started to rain. The rear fuel tank outrigger was a bad repair that must have been done years ago as i pulled the lot off with my hand!!! under this was a big rotten hole, i cut the chassis back to good metal and made a plate to fit into the cut out...

The metal around the bend and mounting point are sound, the front end still has paint on it and under that is good steel, apart from the dumb iron. I have had at flap disc on the grinder to it today on the back end, after i finished i found two small holes that need sorting and old repairs...
