AL110 restoration, the early stages

Wow that makes better sense,
thank you the photos are fine and help alot!
also i do have another piece of pipe like the one from your master cylinder,
where does it go to?
cheers
Jim

Mine joins to a pipe which goes forward, across the bellhousing crossmember and then joins a T-piece on the left rail. I remember the AR I used for parts was different around this area, but don't remember how. I'm not sure if this is because mine's 4WD, or just later than yours (AS).

Bareco chamberlain part no
B8623

Its actually a top hose for a chamberlain it says on my invoice but it definitely worked as my bottom hose.

Apologies for the extremely slow reply!!

Hi Rossco,
Thanks for the info
Just to confirm, the pipe is 2 inch ID?
thats what i need as far as i can see
Cheers
Jim

Thanks Jarrod,
I will have to lay out the pipe i have and see where it ends up,
The T piece with banjo bolt looks correct just have to find where the main feed connect in,
Any advise on cleaning out a gas tank with surface rust in it?
Cheers
Jim

I'm hoping someone else pipes up here, in the past I have just kept a spare fuel filter in the vehicle......(after rinsing the tank out as best I could).

Jarrod.

If the tank is out feed a length of chain in and shake it.

Yes that is good advise i will give it a good clean,
we have started on the rust repairs,
The floor and cab mount below the front of ute body where really badly gone as the ute sat downhill under an old gum tree for years.



This shows the panel removed and the new folded section tacked in place, we used 1.9mm Zincanneal sheet.


We had to remove all the floor from the ute tub as well, it was very thin and had bits missing,

That's full on; my hat's off.

Jarrod.

Thanks Jarrod,
I did not expect to do all this repair, but the more you look the more you find
we had quite some trouble getting the body off the chassis to start with and now it is clear that the body and bolts were rusted to the rubber mounts etc,
The mid body mounts were nearly completely gone
I have had some really great help from a friend who has more skills than me.
He has the welder humming along nicely, with still lots to do,


The front body mount being made in 3 parts with the mounting crush tubes in place





The side floor panels being fitted, we will use the timber in fill as the deck as was the original.
