If everything runs perfectly by puzzeling the drum brake and then you realize during assembly that you forgot to paint something ...
....this means that today we are off work earlier than planned. We are also waiting for paint to dry on the front axle.... 😂
My wife has the only little black dress she like to wear safe for another two years
I'm always glad when I peel out of the car, it's at least two sizes too small for me.
We reached our goal, if we got end of year the same Signets on the licence plate of our truck
Have today the car of my wife in service of a volvo shop include the technical test for road safety every 2 years.
Beside the test we could do the service ourself but to put the half car out of plastic parts before i reach the service points is annoying. I prefer to pay somebody to do that job 😂...
My employer ist a big engineering company. We have it also in hydraulic version, but it is not so handy like the battery powered.
I needed it only for the kingpin all other torques can be done with my own tools.
Looks very good
When you build for yourself, you approach things very differently, especially in the details.
We always come up with new ideas during the rebuild, and as a result we also implement them differently.
Kingpin Replacement can be easy with the right tool.
I am in the lucky situation that my employer borrow me tools if i need them.
720 Nm no problem
it was really time to replace...
We couldnt finished job as a friend called us. He was stranded at the train station in Osnabrück 85...
Fedex had searched everywhere and can't find our leafspring aua
That mean it must be sent twice from the vendor.
In the worst case we wait again 10 weeks or longer
Complaining doesn't help, so let's get on with the project.
Dorman offers a lot of wheel studs
the one which match with ours and the NSN are these

I know that this wheel studs will be reused.
We decide not to do as we know how we remove and how old they are.
We are just checking now the sources in USA to compare with costs here.
Thanks for your offer to help
My wife finished today the preparework on the ground of the cargobox that i can paint it next week.
We will first finish the work on the ground turn the box again and take care of the visible surfaces
I have eliminated the rust pitting and welded it. It was so little that a complete wheel arch...
this will be impossible on a sorting machine 👍 it was just a funny introduction
the Fedex Distributor doesn't know what it is and that it was sent unboxed.
There is movement in the search... i got a phonecall today: they could narrow it down to the station in Cologne
For years we have always...
Funny answer from Fedex Germany yesterday of the missing leaf spring:
.....Then the box must have lost the label in the sorting machine....
Sent us a picture how they look like that we can search for unlabeled boxes.
"Head cinema": unboxed leaf spring in sorting machine...... :3dAngus:
😇...
Many people around me do not understand how i can drive such a polluting Truck with high fuel consumption at this time... especially with diesel prices of currently 2,30 Euro per liter.
My concern is rather the small tank....
Our solution 😂😂😂😂😂:
My wife says I should leave the fingers of it...
We can go on - the wait was worth it - 8 from 9 pieces of order are delivered
Fedex need only to search for the missing front leaf ! Nothing what you can take with you in a lunch box
Hopefully the last order for suspension, brake and chassis to bring him on wheels again
My wife always say don't make holes in the truck ... 😅 I will do my best to convince her and I already know that she is watching closely what I am "destroying". We plan also a second tank. If I don't want to start all over again now is the right time to do so
My wife ask me for a new flapdisc ...:eek:
i told her that she should ask for change if the black area remain :D ...
My wife said its a job where you can let all your frustation gone in energy for remove rust - she didnt notice that she was over the flaps
There was also a thought about...
Not much progress today, just only prepare the workstation for my wife next week 😇
worst edge is end of box left side but no hole by testing with a chisel and hammer
some loss on this left edge - we will see next week how much and if i take a small sheetmetal or order a new wheel cutout...
