  1. I'm with Mark on this, I use 10/40w oil in both the engine and trans on my GT-14+2
  2. The trans tunnel looks good mate, your have it finished tomorrow I bet
  3. That's a rather tidy shed Tom, maybe I should of got you to tidy my workshop while you were down this way
  4. That's a good project to start the year with George, it should keep you busy for a little while
  5. Looks like you had a fun day James and privileged indeed to drive Bendy... Or am I just jealous?
  6. Thanks mate.. Thanks Norm, t'other wheel is almost done Welded from the outside.. And the inside.. A slight change of design with this one.. A lot less metal to grind flat in the middle And for your viewing pleasure... The latest Why Not video..
  7. Nice fabrication work mate.. Is that my old clevis hitch? If so it certainly looks a million times better with some paint on it..
  8. Nice work on the boss and hubs Mark
  9. Hi Iain, it will have a split brake pedal, but split front/back rather than sides on the rear... Thanks James, it's getting not as fast as I would like, but any progress is good progress.. Even though I have not posted anything about Why Not for a few weeks work has slowly been happening.. When I left off at the end of the last update I had just started making new wheel centers.. Like so Which eventually turned into this... The raised bit is a nice tight fit in the center of the wheel which means the new wheel center is centralized in the center of the wheel And from the outside it looks like this.. Please note the widened wheel rim was used for photographic purposes only and won't be going on Why Not.. Bolt holes drilled... The extra two holes were the result of me making a jig out of ally to drill the holes accurately.... The trouble with ally is it's rather soft to use as a jig and one of the new holes ended up a couple of mm's in the wrong place! Time to break out the welder.. Lot's of tacks to stop it moving with heat.. Fully welded in.. A mixture of neat strong welds and not quite so neat but still strong welds The blackish ring seen on the inside shows good heat penetration.. Next up was to remove the old wheel center... Once it was cleaned up you could see the join between the new wheel center and the old metal, so I carefully ground out a V along the join and.... Back filled the V with plenty of weld With the welds and the raised center carefully ground down to make it all smooth and level.. I could finally bolt a Wheel Horse wheel to a Reliant rear axle
  10. It didn't take you long to get the ag's on the back Tom It's good to know the 312 has gone to a good home where she will be loved, looked after, and worked
