Just to annoy Harry we get a little bit more done <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
we check the axle clears everything in the up position
and the down
we start to re-assemble the portals
and use our 4340/300M CV joints - these are very strong <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
paint starts going on
front winch tray starts to be made
and gets welded in
we take a Defender windscreen surround and cut off all the pieces we dont need, then we drill out the welds and take the cast aluminium end off..
.....then we fill in the holes from the drill
cut off the excess from the extruded section
weld it back together and put a strengthening piece along the top
and check it fits
nothing exceeds like excess....
