Hi

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting photos and great work. Please carry on and show us the complete process. The roller arrangement for the torch must really help, nice idea. Watching with interest.

Excellent news Fred! Now you will stand a fighting chance of setting the carb up and of giving it a long overdue, proper shakedown. Wishing you many trouble free miles ahead. But best pack a few tools.....just in case. Oh and don't forget to check the wheel nuts after you have done the first few mil...

Is it a giant security lock bar, which attaches your LWT to a piece of the surrounding landscape to stop it getting nicked?

Hi Shaun!

Total guess, but maybe VE/WW2 themed?
PIAT Round? If not, can you give us a clue regarding the dates whatever it is, was in service for?

Hi Bob Looks good. Makes sense to use a retainer like that, as an R clip may be pulled out more easily, if the chain was accidently pulled. When I restore my vehicle back to its full winterised spec, I'll be putting a hard top and one piece rear door on, so the tail gate and existing hoops, tilt etc...

Too right! Don't forget the "Luxury R Clip Chain", to keep it all in order. Might even paint mine red!.....

Hi Fred

All very organised and great progress with the Disco. Sounds like a man who needs a Sankey Trailer project!

Hi Bob

Mine has a small "R" clip on a chain, which goes through the bottom of the N/S hinge to stop it from sliding out when the tail gate is lowered. Mine is a 1983, does yours have the same?

I would guess that the grove was there in the event of any of the piston seals leaking. The brake fluid could then drain out visibly and indicate to the operator that there was a problem. If this happened, the operator may have already noticed that the brake fluid level had dropped in the reservoir ...

Obviously, my opening sentence reference wheels, is reffering to the photo of the vehicle in B&W, and not the one at the start of the thread. Just to be clear.
