Il keep my eye for a pencil type pressure gauge then, will hopefully get on old one from a car boot sale. I bought father and I a race calibrated pressure gauges for car trialing last year and they read 2 psi out at 12 psi to each other. I bought a draper one that reads 8 psi out and my original one...

I was hoping the door seal problems would be sorted by now. Are some sills better then others? Maybe the James K could get the supplier to swap them for some that do fit as they're not really fit for purpose. Il be looking to buy some soon aswell.

I dont know abit the light but the noise could be from the alternator fan catching. I had this on a new alternator from motor factors. I just bent a couple of fins out the way. Could be worth a check by spinning the alternator without the fan belt on. Hope this helps abit. Steve

Just found this picture of my mog online.[frame][/frame]

Thank you, wont be much progress for a month or 2. Im certainly enjoying the project. But I don't want to over restore it tho cause its only original once. Just making the metalwork sound 1st.

Some great work there. Looks like it'll be on the road soon.

You'd need to go and view it 1st and take the kickplates off and fully check it over and check the woods saveable. Iv just paid that much for my project tho its a one owner job with fully history and came with reconditioned wood. Does look a nice project tho. Some might say its priced high but if it...

Thank you.

Got the sill step and boxing panel in place. I roughly refitted the door. Looks like it will line up well. I measured the distance of the old sill step from the boxing panel and have fitted the new step to these measurements and it looked like it will be ok. Its hard working from someone elses old p...

Bugger. Before you go any further get the door re hung and linen up, then add some bracing to the aperture to hold it square. With that amount of structure missing things are going to move. Rod Step ahead there. Have already braced the door aperture before i done any cutting. Iv refitted the door t...

Thanks

Nice project. Lots of welding to keep you busy. Im going through the same with a traveller.

Looks like you've been busy. Good luck with the move. Are you moving to place with more room for cars?

Ha iv got tyres. I have set fire to 2 ford kas welding them up. I now strip the interiors out before welding them.

Its not a problem tipping it on its side. I have built a stretched traveller, 42" longer, and I had it on its side for lots of the time, turning it a couple of times to get access to different parts. I ill put some pics on mt facebook page (Dennis Saupe) if you want to see Oh yes please. Thanks

Sounds a plan thanks.

The adverts are still trying to sell Halloween and Bonfire night stuff. They must over ordered this year!
