Yeah, bit of welding....

Oh dear. Bit of a list there.

Chin up, nothing insurmountable.

Tbf, that isn't that bad (whilst it may look it from the outside, a lot of that is stuff I'd change as a matter of course when I get a car. The only two bits that could lead to a bigger job, are the two bits of welding to my mind.

Brakes, I'd replace all flexi's anyway, and inspect hard pipes when I get a car. New hard pipes arn't expensive, neither are flexi's. The rear brake imbalance is likely to be the 340 mech rusted together, it's a horrible system compared to the 360's. For an extra £20, I'd throw new shoes and cylinders in from a reputable manufacturer then you won't have to look at them again for another 3 years (unless you are a hooligan.... when 6months is needed)

Headlamps, they are super common still everywhere if you have to replace. I doubt that's the case though, so have it up against a wall in the dark and have a nose.

Rear torque arm I believe you said you'd done?

Thats all the fails. Do the advisories as soon as you have ticket on it.

It's all done except advisories, been hard work. Lights needed strip+clean, reaction rod is fine for mot*, fitted brake pipe+hose..... yada yada. it should have mot tomorrow


The shock top mount rubber bushes... what part is needed? can they be rebonded?

My favorite subject...

The shock top mount rubber bushes... what part is needed? can they be rebonded?

... a coat of Sikaflex (from your nearest boat shop) will sort them. Smooth it off with a brush of white spirit before it sets to make them look awesome.

Sweet! .
Much thanks, Think I know a shop for it too.
