Today, thanks to a very, very kind person (fattimas) on Oz Clubbies, I received an Escort Master Cylinder through the post. It’s great to find a group of people who all have the same goal helping each other!! Again, thanks fattimas - your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Just when I thought I’d visited every type of auto store known to man - up pops Autobarn!! Again, I was like a kid in a candy store - although, now I’m learning to show a little more restraint. Either way, I picked up another tie rod end (TE422R) and a pair of axle stands. Nearly bought a trolley jack, but would rather have one that will not only jack up the puma, but will also work with the 4wd.
Well today I started in earnest with the angle grinder and a wire wheel cleaning the hubs. Below you will see a picture of the before and after.
Today I went to Super Cheap Auto for a look around and came home again with a 2.5hp 40L Air Compressor, an Air Tool set and a 30m Air hose. I feel like I’m turning into “Tim the Toolman”.
Well now we are rocking and rolling with getting parts!!! This morning, I collected my complete rear axle from Confederate Motors in Adelaide. Then later this afternoon the family all went on a special outing to “Super Cheap Auto”. The kids weren’t very excited, but I was like a kid in a candy store. Managed to pick-up (1) Tie Rod End on special at $8.00 for my steering rack and will have to source the other one later. I gather, they are normally around $30 each if done under a special order.
Boy have I got some cleaning to do - there’s the rear axle, front brakes, calipers and backing plates. What’s more, I have to find somewhere to put all the bits because the garage and drive-way are being prepared for concrete on Monday. Talk about busy!!
Today, my husband and I went to U-Pull It at Elizabeth and retrieved a complete handbrake assembly, front discs/hubs, backing plates and calipers. Am still on the hunt for diff/axle - but that’s okay, there’s always tomorrow.
Yeah ha, today I went to visit John Karnon, the ‘Puma’ man and ordered my chassis!!! There’s no turning back now!
Went to Super Cheap Auto today and bought a pair of lower ball joints - I know it’s not much - but it’s atleast another bit to add to the collection.
