do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
one for the pipe line boys ... wet weather tent - drop it on the pipe and chuck a tarp over it
made loads of these for the timber frame guys ... lifting deck for lifting wall panels to a fair way up on a multi story build (they did blocks of flats in timber frame [and steel
] ) had about 20 in all, all proof load tested in the yard and cert.ed
remember the 90 Defender ... with the bonnet full .. the start of the transplant ...
the hat is a baker's cap .. bought a couple of hundred of 'em at a sale once - for a quid - no one wanted 'em ... were great for under stuff - kept yer head clean and just bung 'em in the wash
and the lump, getting a wash with the steamer
SD getting 'attention' .. IIRC it was one of my Vitesses which'd gone past its use by date getting gutted for a transplant into a better shell
clutch pedal removal .... all the bracketry was in every shell - just needed relocating into position to replace an auto set up (which the vast majority of SD,s were -- hardest part was sliding all the circlips along the extended 3 pedal pivot spindle...
there were several to move simultaneously -- would love to know how BL did it, although was probably out on a bench as an assembly, 'fore getting installed in the shell - sod taking the whole thing out - lorra work .. just change the spindle and pedals, then add a master cylinder
(I've taken so many of these to bits I could do it in the dark, back in the day, - could probably manage most of one tomorrow TBH ) they were a very easy vehicle to work on (when you knew your way around them)
and that's it for this thread .................. 'til I next venture into the attic
