Kermit has done a lot of sitting in the workshop and contemplating life whilst other things get done (or not) around the house.

I did a couple of small things after the Datsun Day
1. Replaced the tie rod ends - didn't like it that the inners didn't have grease nipples (and couldn't get the bungs out to put some in)
2. Adjusted the front brakes up - too much travel on the pedal - still travel more than I like (How can I fix this?)


I have a few more things to do before I am happy to take him off for a roadworthy
1. Re-upholstering the front seats - I thought seat covers were enough but the springs are saggy and the misses wants it done
2. Fuel gauge not working - probably just a wire off somewhere
3. Keeps jumping out of reverse and sometimes the shifter will go into reverse but the gear won't engage - dunno on this one - anyone got ideas short of replacing the gearbox?

Anyway I'm a lot closer to RWC and club plates but not rushing anything.

Adjust the rear brakes. The pedal travel is combination of the front brake + rear brake. I like to adjust them tightly (Drum Brake Adjustment)

Bit of an update:
Front seats now reupholstered
gear box - replaced with a later model one

Otherwise:
I cut up a couple of new engine stands to make a rotisserie for the yella terra shell... getting closer to finishing that too.
Too cold to work outside much
