Well, yesterday we managed to fit the handbrake to the chassis and get the bar connected that fits through the tunnel...... :D :D :D But then found..... Gearbox oil in one of the brake drums...... May need to put new seals in there.. :cry: Managed to shear a bolt that holds the handbrake cables to the centre bar.. :oops: And worse of all, found that the solid petrol pipe coming out of the rear of the chassis has snapped... :shock: :cry: Ah well, that's life :(

That always seems to be the way! A mornings work end up taking two whole weekends! :?

Last night I managed to... Remove the sheared bolt from the bulkhead and clean up the thread. :D Replace the handbrake cable that had the split in the conduit. :D Anyway a question... What size is the thread on the handbrake cable ? I've got a couple of 6mm nuts but they don't seem to go on smoothly. :? Is it a metric thread or imperial size ? Thanks

That's always the way. Can't wait to see it finished Chris.

Don't get too excited, it's not going to be in the same league as George's cabrio... :( To be honest, I can't wait to see it finished either, if only for the wait I've had with it... and to stop spending money on it. :roll: Anyway, back in the garage when the Mrs gets home from work... :D
