Good to catch up you and the family, mate.

Buses produced from August 1967 to April 1968 didn't have an engine firewall, this was introduced from May 1968.

A few pics from Barryfornia.

Thanks, Barryfornia has been and gone. I can say it was a successful first outing. A couple of issues, the gearshift definitely needs addressing, there's a small oil leak from the temp sensor housing, there's still some leftover mousehouse even after all the cleaning, a side light isn't...

Don't know why this didn't post earlier, but the panel van latch plate is part no. 21 and the buffer sits against this. Window van has the latch plate no. 19. Parts no 41 & 42 are the buffer and buffer cage.

First drive from lockup to Nick's at CJ Motors for a nut and bolt check and fettle. The running issues were solved by fitting the IDF40s off the old bus engine. So much easier with the hatch. Also had a sticky rocker, that was probably due to the engine sitting for such a long time before...

I'm sure there was a company called Powder Monkeez nr Swansea. Anyway, it's a long process. You need to take the wheel back to bare metal, treat any rust, clean them spotlessly and that includes the crevice between the hub and rim otherwise you'll get blistering. Then apply a couple of coats of...

Thanks mate, got a couple of running issues but I think it's jetting related. Just do one job at a time, it's daunting to do a list but if you keep getting one or two things done every time it only takes around 4 years. :LOL:

What does your M code plate say? Behind the left hand cab seat.

Why don’t you contact him for a quote?

That was my next suggestion.
