Nick Jackson (2) Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I made a concerted start on tidying up the drivers side rusty bits (front wheel arch, rear wheel arch, rear lower panel). I couldn't stand the sight of the bubbling rust any longer. Apart from that, it should be okay for 2010. However, .........if I don't make at least a decent attempt at getting the GT6 ready for the next RBRR, a certain Mr. B might veto my application. This will be the 3rd promise it will appear I think.

Tim Bancroft Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 What about polishing it, will you be able to polish a t*rd?Not sure who my co-driver will be, hopefully my old mate Richard, last RBRR in 2002, if him it'll be the GT6. Otherwise if Howard from last time it's to be the 2.5-bit easy though in the saloon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed a couple of oddities: I'm sure the larger part of the self-adjusting mechanism was installed back to front on both shoes, according to the picture in the Haynes manual, so reinstalled it on the new shoes the correct way round. Also on one of the cylinders, the bleed nipple and the pipe connection were fitted the wrong way round (i.e. the bleed nipple was screwed into the upper thread, the pipe connection into the lower, angled thread.) Not sure how detrimental this would be to brake performance, if at all?Jobs I'm almost certainly going to have to do/have done before next October:New clutchNew propshaft UJsNew screen washer motor (mine's soooo weak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
