Putting it all back together.
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2020 6:44 pm
Most things are coming together now with my the floor pan/bodywork, the engine and the chassis. Soon it will be time to put the engine back on the clutch housing/chassis. Then lift the floor pan/bodywork on to the chassis. Exciting times. I wonder if those with experience can give me some tips on things to look out for doing these jobs.
Questions include, should I put the new rubber trim around the engine bay before lifting it on to the chassis with the engine in or after?
I was thinking of making up some strong rubber washers to fit under the body work when I bolt the 4 main Body to Chassis fixings together. Would this not be a good idea because of electrical earthing? Is there an issue with the gear rod, I seem to remember that was in the way when I lifted the body off.
The floor pan is at present upside down and I have fitted the wiring loom, throttle rod, hand brake cable, choke cable, battery box (earthed to body), fuel tank, spare wheel carrier and hand throttle. Oh and the tow bar.
I plan to fit the rear mud flaps and lights, the lever controls and gear stick, after the body is on.
OK , hope you all keeping well. I won't be ready to take Father Christmas for a Haflinger ride but I have my sights on a spring time drive and fingers crossed a less Covid influenced time.
