Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Piet sit maar my naam ook by asb.

Update: i currently have 11 sets of tie rod ends in my possession (brand is Femo).
The steering damper brackets are complete and in my possession as well.
The machine shop have sourced material for the tubes. Now they just need to cut, thread and drill them.

Thanks for the update!

The machining of the tubes will be finished tomorrow.

I'm just not sure if i will be able to collect tomorrow as we have a "team building" excersise...

But i should be ready to supply 11 sets by next weekend.

How did I miss this thread ?????????????????

Peter, can I please put down my name for batch No 2 ... whenever No 2 will commence

Henning

Sorry. Machining not finished.

Should be ready next week though.

Sorry guys.

Murphy has invested himself deeply in this project.

On monday i collected the half-finished tubes and the taps from my contractor in order to complete the tapping at home.
This was quite a job,but is now complete. However, the left-hand joints are either all slightly over-size or the left-hand tap is slightly under-sized, but effectively the left-hand joints are too tight in the tubes.

Now i need to buy a thread restoring file, chuck them up in my lathe and work the threads until they fit properly.

In the mean time, two sets of rod ends had both joints in the packet left-handed and had to be exchanged, and i bought the wrong bolts and nuts for the brackets...

Deliveries will start soon, i promise.

Ok, the first twelve are finally complete and ready for collection.

Phillip (Scuba), yours is here with me, will you arange a courier?

Everyone else who'se name is on the list at the bottom of page 4, your drag links can be collected from Tinus's place in Rooihuiskraal.

Thanks for your patience guys.

Thank you!!!
