Last few bits arrived today.

Muffler inserts, air filter elements and a couple of chromed wingnuts for the air filter housings.....



Just need the cross pipe for the filter units and an emblem for a 110 engine and I think that's it.

What a complete tw@t of a job.

Miuch more difficult than last time as one of the side plates pulled a diff bearing off with it when it came off. Trying to get the lot lined up again proved a complete pain in the arse. Side plates are on, I can turn the box by hand but its hard. Not sure what gear its in though.

Next job is the axle tubes but not sure if I've dropped a b0llock with those..........
