When you buy a new clutch release arm and bearing make sure you also buy the uprated spring clips.
Might also be worth changing the starter motor brass bush while the engines out.

Hi Simon,
What other plans have you got for the winter off road period for this lovely bus of yours?

 

[Cali_bay]

That is a bit worrying to see the talented work of the PO :mrgreen:

You'll get it sorted.

Yes there's been a a few home fixes that needed sorting :shock: Putting some of them down to lack of availability of parts.

i love this bus, great colour 8)

Thanks, was thinking of going back to all pearl white, but think we'll will stick with blue under white.

Nice work Si !!!

Thanks Steve.

Was wondering if it was worth using the HD ones, so you've answered my question. I think I have a spare bush kicking around. Good advise, thanks

Hi David,

Quick Update.

Got my engine tin powder coated and cleaned up the rest of the parts. Really pleased how it looks. Just need a new coil as it now looks tatty :roll: . Also fitted cooling the flaps that were missing.

Fitted the new clutch release mechanism

Now getting stuck into removing the paint from the engine bay to give that a freshen up.

Looking good Si,
Have you decided on what your doing about Lowering it yet?

Hi Simon

What did you end up using instead of the tar board for the roof of the engine bay?
