Did you fit a new bulkhead or did you repair your old one? My strip-down has started I couldn't wait any longer....

Hi Nathan, thank you for the info mine is a diesel so would it be in the same place on the drivers side?

Thanks for your reply, have all your log books got engine numbers on them? I have a copy of the old log book and this doesn't have the engine number printed on it.

Hi Col, It just looks like it has been forgotten if that is possible? The original paint is still there, it is only me that has tried to clean the oil and paint to try to see the numbers. Also I'm pretty sure it is all original its done 69,000 miles and two owners. There is no engine number on...

Hi, Has anybody ever seen a block with no engine number stamped on it?

Hi, My Chassis is probably repairable but it is really bad. It would need a new full front repair section and a new back one, all the outriggers also need to be replaced. Also they rot from the inside too and mine doesn't look great internally. I have heard about the t wash and also about...

Thank you. Have you bought one?

Yes all of that is OK.

Hi, thanks for rour comments I haven't started it but maybe I will try.

OK thanks for the info, that does look like the same one. What support bracket do you mean?

Hi, it's a Turner winch I think. The only thing missing is the drive shaft to the front pulley. I don't think I will be refitting it because its really heavy.

Thanks, every bolt so far has snapped but it's probably a good thing. I will make a decision on the bulkhead when it's stripped but, it looks really bad there doesn't look like there is much left.

Ok will do. I can't seem to find the inner panel for the vents because mine internally have completely gone.

Thanks for the info.

Ok Thanks, No, I think you are right drum brakes are ok, I was just collecting information before I plan the build.

Thanks Col, My Chassis is completely rotted through the dumb irons so its almost sitting on the bump stops.

Hi, I hope that I can get a chassis from Shielder Chassis I have not spoken to them yet. Link: https://www.shielderchassis.com/all-bulkheads/series-bulkheads/series-2-and-2a/ What I thought was if I buy my Chassis and Bulkhead from the same place hopefully they will fit together better.. I was...

Hi Thank you for your reply. It is in such a bad state I could do anything to it, but I like original so this is the way I want to go. I bought it more or less blind. So when it arrived I found that it needs more work than I was told. I have uploaded some pics.

Hi All, I have just started stripping a 1969 series 2a to do a full rebuild, new chassis new bulkhead etc. A few questions that I have are: 1) Do I rebuild it using metric where possible? 2) Do I convert the front brakes to discs? 3) and the question that people have many different opinions...
