If so, think about where those hot exhaust gases are aiming - you don't want another bonfire!

On the road again
8pm, just fitted handbrake calipers and drove around the block.
Off to get the work checked over by mechanic tomorrow morning,and mufflers and tail pipes fitted up. Maybe I can do the easter road trip we planned now.
One month almost to the day(29 days), spent 138 hours on it. Lucky I only work a 3 day week.

Been missing a bit lately.
My bos decided he needed a break, so had a massive heart attack, and I have been doing 6 days, 10 hours a day for the last 4 weeks, running this huge hard parts operation, and the "old bones" are certainly giving me some serious grief. He came back today, very lucky man.
AWESOME BLOODY JOB, that is true craftsmanshio, trust me. I am IMPRESSED.
The IRS on these cars is such a forgotten item, and is constantly patched up, with a "get to that later" attitude, and as we know, it never happens.

Thanks Grant, sitting back having a celebratory JD right now. Once I start a job I can't leave any part untouched,Every nut and bolt came off. Now I have done the IRS the rest of the car is lacking something. Never rebuilt a diff before, that was interesting on a garage floor with the wrong tools.
The only part that left my garage was taking diff parts across the road to my retired mechanic nieghbours press to remove bearings.
You will appreciate the JD hipflask in the attached pic(used as oil breather catch tank)
I only registered this car for 6 months when I got it in December,not knowing if we were going to keep it or if it was a whim attack,it has slithered its way into fleet long term now. I even had to let one of the bikes go to accomodate the budget.
Guess I knew all along since I have wanted a series 1 since I was in primary school.

LnrB:
Could not resist. apologies!!
The principle of the school insisted that the teachers under his leadership follow the principles of tutelage of the next generation.
I admit. whenever these word are to be used, I have to stop and think as to which is correct in the intended context.
Sorta like if my belt is too loose, i'll lose my pants.
I always admired linguistic master Harikawa, professor and later senator of our state. Words and their lineage are intriguing.
I've been known to turn a Will Rogers like phrase!!
On point. Yup, my "e brake" needs attention as well. The pictures here are extremely useful.
But, because of my recent misadventure with the ramps, I'll wait a bit.

Finished!!
Back from the exhaust shop with a clean bill of health from the mechanic and a nicely polished set of over axle pipes and rear mufflers,tail pipes cut off and screwed on now(some fool po welded them on).
He said he had to polish the pipes before he put them back together to match the work already done.
Total outlay of $776.63 AU,cheap for a diff rebuild,caliper rebuild,hand brake rebuild,paint and all parts down to the last split pin and nyloc.
The Jeep is happy to back in its home of many many years after a month of being cast aside for the new cat. Just waiting for it's Trans to be removed to replace the welsh plug at the back of the block under the bell housing.

Spent the day driving
Covered about 150 miles today and all went well,still that uncertainty in the back of your mind that it might ignite again. Put it up on stands again when I got home to have a quick look, all good and nothing burned.
So I finally got to put on the fuel shut off tap I was going to fit a month ago,so I can reverse park on my drive without the fuel gravity feeding down to the carbs and running out onto the drive,if only I had a handbrake cable!
