Land Rover Bulkhead Repair

[@rossjackson7134]

Rubbing back is therapy,,,,,like polishing my Harley. Lol.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

It can be or it can be tedious and boring:-) I have spent many years rubbing stuff back.

ur gonna need a bigger wall of fame mate

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Ha thanks Michael, I wish :-)

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

You fellows are very busy! Another good one. Cheers.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Thanks Mr Foreman, many hands makes it a bit easier, unlike you solo-man restorers! I very much enjoyed your last episode, that chassis of yours is not behaving, looking forward the next episode.

Metal In Gap! My highlight. Great vid Steve.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Thanks Sambo, its a true, Mig can cover a lot of sins :-)

I really need to get into eletrolysis for all the nuts and bolts and other fixings.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

It works a treat and saves a heap of manual work Stu, its pretty straight forward. An ultra sonic cleaner is also pretty good, I need to replace mine as it died :-(

Hello Steve. I just wanted to thank you for your informative videos. I don't have a Land Rover yet but when I get one your videos will help me to repair it. Marc. Ballarat Victoria

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Hey Marc, thanks for the feedback, that's great Look forward to hearing about your project when you get one, I would suggest a running project (like my Series 1 /109) rather than a full rebuild/restoration, get some joy out of it whilst you do it up rather than years of grinding and painting before you get to enjoy it :-)

[@marcduthie4327]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Thanks Steve. I hope to find a running 2a Wagon hopefully next year sometime. I'll keep watching with interest as you do your Restos.

Really useful video. Thank you

Thanks very much Steve, John and Barker. Most enjoyable and insightful experiences and helpful to see your restoration as it progresses one spot weld at a time. I’ll remember to watch out for flying steering parts, as I’ve got that to do on my S1. I bought a pitman arm puller but sadly it won’t fit the steering track rod end. Will be sending a couple of videos to you soon. Here’s wishing the best of health to you, and stay safe. Ian

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Giday Ian, nice to hear from you, have you got the S1 in your garage?? Has the 2A gone :-(

[@gonesailing]

Vintage Restorations Australia. Hi Steve, good to hear from you too. Yes, sadly my Series 2 is now in the capable hands of my friend, but this allowed me to start work in the ‘57 Series 1. Since this got to my garage on Saturday, I’ve been stripping her down (finding a pair of mice running around) and some good and some not so great things to sort out, lots of previous owner fixes that need attending too! Still it’s all part of the fun process. A long list of parts will soon be needed 😖. Hope you are all doing well. I’ll send you a link to the videos from my series 2 and some up to date photos of the Series 1. All the best Ian

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

@@gonesailing Look forward to seeing the S1 and it's progress, no doubt you will do an amazing job of it :-)

[@gonesailing]

Vintage Restorations Australia. Thanks Steve 😊

[@michaeljones6832]

so does the resetable fuse works kinda like a thermostat? heat bends metal away or viceversa?

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Mmmm I would have to ask John that one.

[@rossjackson7134]

A statement and a question. As a welder I’m a great carpenter and as a helper, is a checked shirt obligatory? Hahahahaha

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

I am ordinary at both welding and carpentry but have managed to make a few dollars out of it, key is wearing the check shirt, it looks almost convincing :-)

[@simonbarclay9507]

Very interest, educational and entertaining. A couple of questions re the electrolysis. How long does the solution last? In other words what are the indicators that’s it past it best? How do you dispose of the used solution? Keep up the great work!

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Good question Simon, Basically the water gets 'used up' ( splits in to oxygen for the reduction and the Hydrogen evolves off as a gas), You can simply top up the water and keep using it. When we are done we let it evaporate, dry the residue and dispose of it in a bin. We will probably do another Electrolysis video soon as it is a good 'lazy man' technique that produces stable results.

[@simonbarclay9507]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Thanks, excellent. Looking forward to the next exciting episode ;-)

[@simonbarclay9507]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Thanks for the reply. Another question, or a suggestion really. There would be real value if you could provide a list of part numbers for each of your videos. While these may differ depending on the particular vehicle it would at least give us punters an idea or starting point for the parts search!

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

@@simonbarclay9507 Easy, I will work at that Simon, will need to buy the @A Cattle Dog

That arm was tight, but you won!

It sure was, gave us a bit of a start when it let loose :-)
