So thanks to MikeC I have new thrones and I had to get some belts...would have been rude not to.
Seats I thought would be smaller but fit within the cage in the position of the originals..... more by luck than judgement......as I built the cage with the other seats as a template
They also give more lift so much head scratching anf metal glue and losing the 30 mm risers I had on the drivers seat and it all works.
The lap straps have a long journey to the floor as the seats are on the factory frames....
They fit me but a generous Birty might find it a bit of a squeeze.......
So only fit birds as a winchy from now on
Next winter will attach more steel to the cage and hard mount the seats to that which will give more seat belt adjustment...... Just like you should..... but for now thats it
All I ve got to do now is get to a bloody event

So...... In my spare moments I have been mostly removing my Prinz LPG system.
Rusty nuts and filth everywhere.........
Tank out and ......well it weighs a bit....... 80lbs probably...... And it's empty.....Tis a 90 litre tank.
I have taken the LPG wiring loom off and have a wiring diagram of how they spliced into the original loom that goes to the ECU
Easy really 6 wires cut and spliced and 2 wires accessed with no cut......
Inlet manifold is now off and basically the whole plot is a big and easy Lego/Meccano kit for the lucky new owner........
I just have to assemble my POS so that it works again........
New inlet/exhaust gasket? Be churlish not to........ Paint the rusty exhaust manifold?
Might as well as I can't get a gasket until during the week.........
Clean things and stuff ........... OCD might be kicking in here

So it's working on petrol again and the LPG system is on the bay........
So with all that real estate free at the rear it seemed rude not to fill it up again.
So rear winch time........
Cut the holes for the monster brackets that weld to the çhassis..... Done that
Got the winch plate from about 12 years ago....... Done and dusted.....
BUT
I need advice on a cheap (it is going on the rear) winch....... If I had to buy new it would be a goodwinch 9.5 at under £400......
But I am unbiased and open to suggestion.........
Secondhand Warn anyone?

So. A bit of welding and ready for a new winch.
Serious brackets from 6 mm plate..... Çhassis a bit thin at bottom at rear seems to be thinning from inside..... Gonna get cut and 4 linked one day
For Those that saw fuel pissin out the front of mine at CF ..... Tis now fixed.....little red joby is a roll over valve that I never fitted when running LPG as tank was only 2 inches full.
Here's some pics. Oh yes and the rock rails now have bedliners on as antislip.

So more than 120 days later so it was flagged and I chucked on one of these in the rear.
Got some monster 50mm cable and a kill switch arriving tomorrow, to finish it off.
Thanks to YT for the heads up on these.

Well it'll be easy to spray out when it's clogged up with mud.

I have a very old and we'll beaten tin bender that is waiting for me to back from a 6 week class in texas so I can start freshening her up for light offroad work.
Nothing as big as the TJ, but we all know it'll be crazy in the fab department

I will once I get started. I just enjoy driving her as is at the moment.
But she needs some love.

Streuth .....all quiet since March
This is a tool question..... Or more exactly a Powerdrill question.
Have been making cage for the seats and have yet again burnt out a £ 90 Bosch drill.
Cutting the fish mouths in the tube is the killer?
What does anyone reccommend that isn't £500 L-ion 36v techno stuff?
They seem to last a year with the use and abuse I put them through........sometimes even doing joinery

Are you using corded or battery? I've used my same craftsman corded drill for years but only 50-100 fish mouths. I've always dome them by hand with a sanding disk on a grinder.

Corded .....does fish mouths with the hole cutter and jig
but sometimes jams
And then smacks me in the head
It's this that kills it long term...... Difficult to find a corded drill with a clutch mechanism

I've abused the hell out of a corded Makita SDS that I got for about £140. I couldn't say if it has a clutch or not but it has been used as a breaker, done 100mm cores...
