Bit more done today. Modifying the hitch lift system. Basically after much umming and ahhing, I decided on copying Mark and Ewan's mod. (Ride On's. Page 11)
So far, spindle, housings and arms made. I did think of fitting bushes in the housings, but I'd no material to make any and I wasn't going to do a 60 mile round trip. I have fitted grease nipples, so things should last me out. I'll have to drill a hole in the fender for access to the LH one. The RH can be reached via the trans filler tube hole.
One mistake I did make, was to make the housing securing tabs long enough. The screw and nut are fouling the trans oil filler tube. Not a problem, just annoying.
