Thanks to Chris who mentioned Harry was selling it and to Harry for selling it to me I am now the proud owner of an RJ-58. It needs a lot of work and parts but i'm looking forward to this restoration!

Well I cannibalised the spare MK12 today to recover the governor assembly, am pleased to say its exactly the same! Have also removed all the old paint and then reassembled the engine. I then etch primed it and once dry gave it a coat of top coat.......

Interesting clutch and chain drive arrangement. Good luck with it. You'll now end up with an original instead of a reproduction.

I just have, Ewan. He won't part with them. Proverbial hens teeth.

I think there's/was some one round Morecombe/Heysham/Lancaster that refurbished steering wheels.

Sure will, it is interesting but it will have to go. I'm still hoping to build my other one as well

I think Chris Sutton may have one or two.

I cant remember who refurbed the injector. I gave it to the tractor dealers who I deal with & they sent it off to the company they use I will find out when I next go to see them

My mate Simon had a clinton engine for sale. I will ask him if he still has it

Glad you done a deal for this. Be interesting to see what you will do with it. Can you get a V8 under the hood??

The gearbox will be the biggest test Chris, the bronze bushes on the main drive axle are shot....... there's about 3-4mm play each side!!! Its ready to strip down, just building up the courage to tackle it.........

Coming along nicely.

Making good progress Darren, as the paper says " game over " well not quite but won't be long ,

Been having a dig around my sheds this morning for parts. As the tyres on this gem were quite reasonable I was going to leave them with just a clean up, however I found these set of rims with a pair of brand new vedestrain tyres fitted that I purchased a few years ago at my local plant sale for the bargin price of £20, which I had almost forgotten about, so it would be a shame not to fit them. In a box I found out my last two new fuel caps that I was given for free by our now retiered Diesel fitter. They should polish up nice. The final photo shows a set of decals that I had made years ago for £15 a set.
