landrover nut

I've not had much spare time this week but we did get started.

First fix.

Front axle pivot 100 thou oversize vertically and 40 thou over horizontally.

And the pivot pin very badly worn out.

So new pin made and chassis mount drilled out to 1" to allow a spigot bush to be welded into place.

New pin uses a roll pin through the bush to keep it in place and still uses spring clip on the front.

I know it's not original but i think it should be a good permanent fix for what will be a working machine.

 

managed to get the front beam painted yesterday but no pics yet, hopefully get the chassis done this weekend.

landrover nut  :WRS: Nice job on the front axel. Should hold up for the 50 years. Enjoy.
