Breather parts arrived to combine with a kit from Martin's BugJimny store...



I didn't have any (8mm OD) tube to connect into the lobster box when I was fitting it... That will run into one of the side connectors on the manifold block pictured, then more 8mm tube will come out the other side and up to the top of the snorkel. The other three 6mm connectors will then link to the front and rear diff breathers, and into the gearbox breather using the straight connector also pictured...

Manual Free Wheel Hubs have arrived from Nicks_Jim via the for sale section on here, to be used with some spacer rings when I rebuild the front axle and steering eventually ([strike]next weekend[/strike] - didn't happen!!), with the following parts that have been amassed -

KingPin Bearings
Axle Oil Seals
Hub Knuckle Seals
Four Tie-Rod Ends
Rockwatt HD Steering Bars
JimnyBits Panhards
Bits4Vits Panhard Bushes

Previous owner said it had a wobble ;)

Hmmm, no photo? You'll have to use your imagination then?

Not updated this for ages, as not had the time to work on it for ages... August the ladies have their annual two weeks in the sun, and then we swapped symbol groups from Mace to Londis, so new tills, and redecorated the shop on the outside, new signage, etc...

[strike]But... things are finally returning to normal, and I hope to get back to working on the red one, as well as the keeping the blue one ready for our greenlaning adventures...[/strike] :blush:

So what's the plans now for it? Splitting it/selling it on or mothballing it?
I think the monroe shocks will be on my upgrade list at some point. You put some good info on this thread. :)
