I had a peep in the molasses tank today. Looks like it's working away well, creating all sorts of scummy stuff as it gets stuck into the rust, dirt and paint.
I might leave them to fester in there until Saturday week. That'll give them a fortnight's treatment.

I started to strip the hubs and brakes down after work this week. Here's the right front drum looking good on the outside ...
... and here's the same one on the inside ...
Here's the brake shoes off it, well past the 'use by' date ...
At least the rear seals and brake linings look better!!

Bugly, I didn't look to see.
They probably don't want much for the whole thing.

Hey Bugly
I have a nosecone in a lot better shape than yours. Only has a little damage where the crank handle goes in and a small split halfway up the nose on the drivers side. The rest is in good shape. There is also a good bonnet. Picked them up years ago and have been in the shed.
I am in Griffith, southern NSW if interested.
