Heck what a problem and you just returned from holiday too. I would get Sue to pickup 2 or 3 part time jobs on top of what she does now to pay for her shoe collection and she can pay for them as a gift to you for taking her to USA.
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

After all, it was her who left the floor wet and caused you to mess up that elbow, right?? Sounds like you're owed something here.... Originally Posted by Whiplash23T

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Spending other people's money is always more fun.......................GO FOR IT!!!
BTW, over on the Hamb parts for sale is an NOS T handle marked "Chute Release".........................you need that too!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Steve, you better check to see if Sue has been taking out any extra life insurance on you !
Years ago my wife was filling ice cube trays in the sink and putting them in the refridgerator. As she was making the trips she was spilling some on our tile floor. I walk very fast and before she could warn me I was laying on my back on that hard, tile floor. So I know how you felt. It would be so easy to really hurt yourself that way.

Well winter draws closer and its now dark at 6pm so progress is slowing rapidly but i picked up a B&M Quick Silver shifter cheap, been butchered in a couple of places but sorted that out and fitted it to the trans tunnel with rivnuts, Oh and decided to fit the Willys badges i had.

Thought i had better sort a handbrake, luckily i had an old upright handbrake lever from a old 1950's bus ( I knew i would use it someday)
The lever was 3ft long so first job was to shorten it to a nice comfortable length.
1st pic is what i started with.
Next on the list was a floor mounted bracket, someone had butchered the mechanism before i got it so i made an upright and welded the ratchet piece to it.
The pawl was pretty badly worn so i made another from steel, heated it to cherry red and quenched it in water to harden it.
Heres the bits laid out before reassembly
1st pic is fully closed and 2nd pic fully open. I was gonna cover it with a leather gaiter but thought it would look cool left open and chromed.
I also treated the old girl to a pair of ARE magnesium spindle mount 5 spoke 4" x 15" front wheels, these came with discs and calipers, bearing etc but need a little bit of fitting to complete.
Also got the other header done and finished.
