Hi

Well, I had starting issues at a local show, so bump started it several times, did various other things to get me home. The pickup wouldn't go again, there was no spark and my gauges didn't work this time, found a fuse, not meant to be there according to Ford, but it had blown. Suprising bit is it was a 50amp!

There is now a bolt in the holder, try and make that blow! I am going to bypas the fuse holder with some wire, and di it as my wiring diagram says to do!

I also need to strip a steering box, the one that broke last Saturday, and put the internals into a good casting, that way I will hopefully have a good box with little play. Still need to sort the charging, and also may fabricate an extra steering coumb suport, as to take some pressure off the box casting. This new one is really leaking too, so am topping it up on a regular bassis, until my last show has gone in a month or so, then I can start work, swapping the quad ring as I go!

Cheers

Dave

The paint looks better in the pics than in real life, but it was the second time I tried painting, first was a tractor, so am happy, all my work and all.
