been a long time, saving pennies but I'm now getting on restoring the replacement tub. It's going ok, except I'm confused about the floor panel. On the replacement tub I got, the rear of the floor had been cut away - I assume (given the yellow colour) to fit a winch directly to the chassis rails for...

Thanks for that - getting a much clearer view of this now!

Thanks! - thats a big help! So i’ve moved forward slightly now and bought another tub. It has a good bulkhead (a few extra holes) and the cross member looks ‘ok’ - at least its there unlike mine! It might need a little fettling - one of the mounting holes is a bit ripped but otherwise, its ok. I can...

the nastiness continues. Opening up the other side, I'd say it's worse. Previous own has chopped off the aluminium crossmember, fabricated (I say fabricated, in reality folded a bit of steel over itself) a steel plate and welded the old seat belt bracket to it. Then literally wedged it under the Ali...

I noticed in the forum that the group might have had some tub crossmembers made at some point? Are there any remaining or where could i get one?

I’ve put the brackets between the outrigger and the underside of the tub so I can mount the retractable mechanism vertically on the floor of the tub. That felt a lo...

Still looking for a seat belt bar - any one got one?

Chris

thanks - good to know. I'll have a bit of a poke about and see what I can find. Water temp was prob. more important to me than oil temp in reality..

hello all. Just got my water temp. gauge working again on my '78 12 volt lightweight and feeling pretty pleased with myself - sender unit was U/S after a resistance check so replaced it and after reconnecting the cable which had been removed from the back of the gauge, it burst into life. Flushed wi...

Does anyone have the proper seat belt bar that runs across the vehicle behind the seats? I'm fitting new inertia seat belts with the brackets between tub and outrigger and need to raise the belt to shoulder height. Before I buy the turret style ones that fit on the rear bulkhead I thought I'd see if...
