Now the brakes are back together again, I could finally concentrate on the diff. The breather was smaller than the thread on the diff, so I bought some Sikaflex EBT+ from Screwfix and just glued it in place.

 

 

Then went for spin to warm the diff oil up and used my Pela 6000 to suck the old stuff out (by god it smells!). Got about 800ml out and put about 1.1L back in. Looks like it was well overdue!

After running out of time to get my tonneau cover fitted before Stoneleigh this week was spend getting it suited to the RAC rollbar. Thanks mum!

 

 

It makes the rear so much tidier.

When I took the drum brakes apart, the abutment stops pretty much disintegrated. You can't buy these things anymore, but thankfully I'm not the first person to face this problem as David Jenkins describes how he resorted to make his own.

 

 

I thought they came out pretty well.

I know I should really be driving it instead of tinkering, but as I needed to prepare some bits on the car for next week I got a bit carried away and ended up fitting my Aeroscreen.

 

 

Now just need to find something to cover up those old windscreen support holes.

You couldn't make this stuff up... The exhaust mount decided that today was a good day to disintegrate and after a hop and a skip left me at the side of the road collecting my silencer 200 yards back. Good job I drive with earplugs .

Bought a new exhaust bobbin and although the silencer has seen better days, it is still fully functional, so it will have to do until I can get enough money together to spend on a nice shiny carbon Motad exhaust.

Lovely day for little odd jobs. Finally fixed a dangling plate full of relays. Also installed a little headlight reminder buzzer and fixed the rubber mats to the floor using some heavy duty Velcro.
