body lift spanner party, essex 14th April

i am planning to fit my body lift on Saturday the 14th of April so it will be ready for the annual meet. i have started to WD40 my nuts :lol:

Is there room for a 3rd
I need help to change the rear brake discs, pads & shoes and cables then reset them.
Yes I know it's an easy job, but I can't get one of the discs off and need extra help I cant use here. Plus I need to replace the cables as I fear I've over stretched the originals :shock:

That will be fine Paul. More hands make's lite work. It's an open house or should i say garage. :thumbup:

i will PM all of you my address.

sorry chaps but looks like we ain't gonna make it. 1) the truck passed test but run out of funds for tax till end of month. 2) can't get a sitter for littlun and she is a mare to have running around hurty bits

paul there is a maplins in harlow if you need a new unit. this one is only £65 :thumbup:

Rob,
Bought the Maplin kit the other day.
Fitted it just need to test it.
Also replaced the aerial cable.
Once I had it all out I think I found the problem :shock:

Will tell you what it was on Saturday.

Do you have a SWR meter?

Cool
If I can get this lot working, then there'll be a job lot of cb equipment at a bargain price for sale on here next week.
Will just need to decide what to do with the brand new stinger aerial and mag mount :roll:

i have just bought a head gasket set would we have time to do this aswel if it turns up before Saturday :lol:

In theory yes. Just depends on how much of a bitch your body lift turns out to be.
If we get all the bolts off first time then we should have plently of time, so get back out there with that wd40 :lol:

Meant to ask. Have you done a body lift before????
I have. I just wondered if you know the sort of job we're taking on and the pitfalls and tricks involved in doing it well.

yes i have done a body lift before on Christine

Does any1 mind if I turn up??

I cant say 100% if I can turn up until im there if you know what i mean...but put my name down just incase I can make it....could do with fitting my front bearings with some advice because Im sure I must be doing it wrong because it goes thru them like it does fuel... :/

What time are u starting and thinking of finishing up....or is it a as long as the day light last kinda thing??

I would say I would love to come as I am in the market for a body lift on Banshee and the experience would be useful ... however I am busy that day. Leaving Banshee for a week in some "Crazy Fool's" hands :shock:

Well I just got back home lol. A little later than I expected but its been a productive day so well worth it. New bearing feel silky smooth although there is still a slight noise from somewhere I'll have to check that out. But all in all thank u andy for ur help! And putting up with me lol. Hope the misses hasn't killed u for playing with the trucks till gone 11pm lol.

Thanks for all the help with my brakes guys.

They still don't work, so I'm gonna need some more help. Might see how the cash flow is and put it into a garage for them to mess about with :roll:

Dan. Sorry I couldn't hang around to help with your bearings.
I do have a new home now though

I'm sure its just a case of spending some time adjusting them. But as long as the foot brake works then its just a pain more than anything
