Comfort while working
Having spent two whole days underneath ROJ I can heartily recommend one of these:
With soothing jazz and the heat from a small eletric fire, and the fumes from Hammerite, I could have had a quiet snooze!
Instead it was a very productive weekend – started off on Friday evening and stayed with my chum ‘Cyclist’ from the AMOC and his charming family in Luton admiring his immaculate DB6. Then spent saturday working on the suspension mounts and generally going over the underside of ROJ.
On Sunday cyclist joined us in Ye Three Fishes, a cosy village pub with a big log fire, we discussed half shafts and piston rings over a roast luncheon before heading back to apply thick coatings of Hammerite to the chassis. (Thanks Cyclist).
Monday morning I woke up with a hammering headache from the Hammerite, so instead of crawling back under ROJ, I crawled under the OI with Malcolm and had fun with the rear axle and differential (see below).
Taking three days meant that I didn’t rush anything and thus make a hash like I did last time. It’s all very exciting, because I am at the turning stage now – from ripping apart to carefully and methodically putting it all back together!
