At last my hydraulics are working ,not straight forward as I would have liked,it pays to have a diagram but good experience .This is it on trial at the caravan park in Tayport

More pictures and other post should have said tardis

Fantastic matey!!! Im loving the thread totally, I mite just have to go find some more bits to send your way!!! lol Brilliant job so far Ian,,,

Well, the fender pan didn't quite get finished as I said above.. It's not finished now but very close To hold the above big plate in place for welding and to stop it dropping through the hole, I welded a few tabs on... Like so. I forgot to take any photo's of that plate being welded on, but on the same day I discovered I had another rust problem!! I was wondering why my tobacco was drying out so fast Anyway, now for something pressing.. Making the missing indent bit that is used to bolt the fender pan down.. See what I mean by pressing I must of made about 8 of these, trying different thicknesses of metal, different strengths, different object to press them into, and finally different ways to cut the steel before pressing... Can you spot which one is the old indent bolt hole mount thingy? The trick to making your repairs look better than they are on camera is to give the metal a quick buzz over with a DA sander first A close up of the indent hole mount thingy. The underside still needs a bit of a tidy up, but it's not looking too bad. I hope your liking it Kenny

Your be pleased to know it's been a productive day Kenny, I did find a few more small holes in the hood, so more patches coming up.. Just not today Today I've been tackling some thicker metal, no not the seat pan but the fender pan Here it is as arrived! A bit of straightening soon made the back a lot less flat and a lot more like the shape it should be. A dig in the pile of metal off cuts unearthed these two bits that were left over from making the 6x6 fenders.. Hhmm, this looks like it should work. Ok the line is not quite original but unless your a serious spotter with a tape measure no one will notice the difference To fill the gap between the two "er... bits where the lines get lower", a dig under the bench found this off cut... Don't worry Mark, your corners are still safely stashed away Quite a while later... The rusted away lines are back While I was under the bench I also found this long forgotten 300 series side cover. Trimmed down a bit. See these rusty holes? Gone!! Almost.. The patch just needs a little tweak then it's ready to be welded in.. If all goes well I might even get the fender pan finished tomorrow!!
