'went straight down to the garage as soon as I was done this afternoon (  ), as they told me they were going to start painting the diff. and rear axles of the car in the dull+glossy black shade they had again. So checked out the work today. 'looks good now! Front suspension to be tackled next. My mech. also got the rear shocks reconditioned. Also new floorpans for the ones that needed replacement have been fabricated. They've red-oxided the underside, but I'm thinking of getting the inner sides zinc-primered, same as the chassis. Then get it covered in PAINT when the car gets repainted, rather than put the 'pitch' as they suggest. In any case, this was how it was on these cars originally anyways.       Quote:
Clutch and Brake m.c from a BOLERO?!! Wow, in some cases we Indians sure could give the Cubans a run for their money I feel, when it comes to indigenous spares for classics!!  BtW I read that you frequent rimmerbros.co.uk? You can find clutch and brake cylinder kits with them. Or even with canleyclassics.com, but those turn out to be TVS ones from India! you're welcome to post pics. of your cars! You can do so in the "Standard cars in India thread": http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/vintag...ars-india.html Quote:
Yes you get pieces in the market, you have to dissolve them in water and make into complete liquid as I understand how they do it. I'll be glad to find out the duration it needs to be left on from my garage guys. But make sure you NEVER apply it on places where the chassis no./engine no. plate is there. Or else if its inevitable, take off the plate before they apply otherwise it'll eat away the entire writings on the plates! Uh, I never imported engine mounts! I did get them locally. But very rare now. Interesting and informative sites btw, thanks! Worth a try once at least IMHO. Last edited by Stanher : 27th May 2010 at 17:16. | |||

Well sorry MCB, but I couldnt manage to take a video of him at work. Now all the replacement floorboards are done too! Oh well, there is always a next time, especially with me! Here are the 2 bad floorboards on the right replaced with the new already. New one/s to go on the left.     The old ones. The accelerator pedal bracket needs to be fabricated though (see pic.)   | |||

| Distinguished - BHPian | More updates! Now the left front floorboard is being worked on. This is by far the worst in shape of all the boards, and the guy pointed out that there had been some shoddy work done on it earlier- instead of replacing the entire rotten floorboard/pan, a new sheet had been welded on over the existing ones, resulting in excessive thickness but not any better rigidity! So now the entire pan is cut off from the edges, leaving room for the complete replacement sheet.         Also part of the rear suspension refitted, albeit temporarily. 'looks good already!       What remains is the left rear axle and rear spring. The latter, as you can see, is as bad in shape as the rest of the suspension was, caked with ages of mud and muck! This is to be sorted out next.   |

| Senior - BHPian  | Stanher back in action Glad to see Standard shaping up. I still remember the days when there we discussion about the rotten/rusted chassis and I guess there were opnions about replacing the entiere chassis with another but now Voila!! the same chassis is embedded with rear suspension. Thats were you stand apart Stanguru. On a lighter side this car is getting so much of metal work done I guess she is gonna become a Standard tank, just kidding. She is getting all what she deserves.  Shyam how about a visit to the herald sometime I was discussing. |

 Could you again give me the directions to that place btw? Incidentally, my mech. was told of a Herald put up at a dealer's a little ahead of Mehdipatnam a few days ago. I presume it has to be the same car you saw. But he says he went to that area and couldnt find the car even on asking a few dealers there. I presume Attapur is even further ahead. Quote:
