Hi john, thanks for the reply,
Yes I've checked the parts book it shows the front cover plate without any sides so at a bit of a loss.
The easy answer is to cut them off and make new sides, I'll play with a template when I get 5 mins and make a decision to repair or replace then.

Hi all, just about to send out the tinware for powdercoating but the rear engine cover needs some “tweeking” as you can see the corners have folded in.
Does anyone have a photo of what it should look like?

Cheers

HI John,
I'm hoping to get it back together for August, I have far too much going on at the moment and spending the odd hour as time allows on Hemi.
I am away for Dersingham sadly, I have taken the 90.

I'm still undecided what to about the the boots, I would like to pull the gearbox and check/replace the syncros - the bearings are possibly 50 years old so I've gone this far.. I pulled the top off the top of the turret as I could feel play in the linkage, looks like the grease is past its best: IMG...

One step forward.. 2 steps back.🙄 Continued to strip the chassis, engine is going to get the tinware repaired and painted and some new gaskets. The dizzy has some play so I’ll rebuild that has time allows, however the engine managed to throw itself off my lift and conked the oil cooler, so new one r...

Well i’ve had a bit of time this weekend so hired a flatbed to move the platform into storage while i fettle the running gear… some photos, I’m on my phone so could not easily resize them sorry. I’ll add some detail again.

Raptor on Ali put on as a thin coat.

The line-x had the paint on the load bed scuffed up first, there were a few bolt holes they put tape over (6-10mm) and it was then sprayed directly onto the bed. I Used Raptor to spray the Ali top of a draw unit I put into the load bed, I scuffed and cleaned the Ali with isopropanol - no reason othe...

I have used Line-X and Raptor bedliners on my landrover - the line -X has been in the load bed 14years and is excellent, it's had building rubble, scrap steel & engines etc without damaging the surface. The problem with line-X was it was not possible to tint it, and it had to be sprayed on profe...

Thanks John,
I suspected it was a hole filler at one point as I have seen a few photos that show the front end without the washer jet.

Hi All, While I was stripping the front end I removed the windscreen washer jet and realised I have not seen a washer bottle or any reference to a washer bottle motor in any of the electrical diagrams. Can someone point out where the washer bottle is supposed to go and what it looks like, A photo wo...

Well the rain has stopped.!
Handbrake, clutch and exhaust are now detached
As well as throttle and gear linkages.

John the supports sit under the trailing arms this will stop the chassis rotating.

Hi all, It's been a while since I had the time to do anything meaningful to hemi however, I've been doing little jobs when I can, I've been waiting on having some parts made before I could start stripping down the front end and putting the parts in storage ready for a good look over before repair &a...

Hi, yes from the photos in tajmans photos above you remove the bolt in the bottom of the lever and split it from the fork on the linkage, there is also a return spring attached to a tab on the same bolt - or should be. mine was missing.! then remove the 4 bolts on the top holding the stick assy to t...

Happy new year all.
I've blobbed in, many thanks for your efforts

HI All, It's been a while a new Job, life and holidays have got in the way of doing anything constructive with Hemi, however I've now started to strip the platform ready to clean it up prior to repainting, there are a few areas that require attention and I want to change the colour from Fergie grey ...

HI Joihn,
One of the other forums I post on has a "fuel tank" displayed in the header to show the health of the forum funds, is this something that can be added.?

Thank you for the work you put in - it is greatly appreciated.
