Did you remove the hinges Rossco ?
I had one pin break on the right side so I removed the hinge got the broken pin out and replaced the pin , put it all back on and couldn't get it to line up or close properly .
I can't quite remember what it was but think I had the hinge wrong way when I put it back on .
Nah didn't take them off. Was way off, then took the doors of again & ground off all the old seam sealer and got it pretty close. Adjusted both mounts of the hinge both in the cab & in the door. Just can't seem to get both top & bottom latches working together nicely at all. Arrgh was starting to drive me crazy ! ! . . .Quote:

Some more shopping @ patrolapart ended up getting a new filter / primer housing as last trip it was playing funny buggers losing power and the hand primer sucking itself down when revs were applied. Everything else checked out as far as blockages / leakes so pretty hopeful this will solve it.
Dude coming round tomorrow to put in the glass in too. [emoji4]

Sorted the barn doors out yet Rossco ?
Nah tried to ignore them to be honest. . . Dropped into the panel beaters the other day but had shut up shop. I'll drop round tomorrow see what he reckons. . Need to pick up the bonnet might see if he can do a patch job on the guard I buggered maybe. .Quote:

Are they original frames in the side rear @Rossco or did they come with the glass?Quote:

A bit more shopping & slow progress on the golden horse.
Went to fit the new filter bracket on the drivers side then found brake lines are in the way. New ones from patrolapart and she's all good. . . Although should have measured the fuel hose ad i need to get that. . Oh well another time. .

Also spent a bit of time frigging around with the rear guards. . . Trimmed a fair bit off the plastic stone shield thingies. Should be good, that pokey bit always holds mud then you end up shooting yourself in the face at the car wash [emoji6]

Had to make some little plate thingies to bridge the gap. .
