An up-date on the EJ Diff ...
Here's it in it's painted form... :D
Image

I've started on the brakes....had to use new PBR cylinders as the original ones needed hammering just to get the pistons out! :shock:
as for the rest it's just alot of cleaning/wire brushing/rust converting/etch primering & painting..as you can see the difference between the before & after shot. :thumbsup:

Hi all as you may or may not know I have had a small clutch problem since last weekend and have had to drop the gearbox out ot find out what was up.
It was acting like a pressure plate failure or a trow-out arm breakage...as it has turned out to be a spring from the clutch plate has dislodged itself an wedged between the cluch & pressure plate. I've NEVER come across this ever before? Or for that matter heard of it happening? Point is, I will now replace the entire clutch & pressure plates with brand new ones.. :thumbsup: so while I had everything out I've had the advantage of totally cleaning & painting all the bits. :wink:
Here's the photo's...
Here's the 'box' just been pressure washed & ready for a coat of grey...
Image
I mark all the bits and clean 'em up on the wire brush on the bench grinder then paint the bits that need it..yes I even wirebrush clean the split washers...?
Image
This photo is for sunny Tim..see ..it was'nt the clutch fork!! :ebiggrin: :roll: :lol: :lol:
Image
here's the repainted starter motor...I did'nt like it beeing entirely blue!..yuck!...
Image
And here is the repeted photo's from the "D'oh" subject I put up..I'm still at a loss as to HOW this could ever happen???

Did you DO know that 93% of Morlocks drive FB's? (as being undrground you rarely need windscreen wipers). :roll: :clap: :silent: :wtf:

Scotty

(P.S. I really ASK for it ...don't I! :shifty: :shifty: :crazy: :problem: :think: :wave: ) The other 7% drive Morris J vans or Lloyd Hartnets!! :wtf: :lol: :lol:

I saw the Easter bunny hopping out of a J Van Tonight on TV! I think he was driving it. Sounds to me to be a HARE BRAINED way to deliver easter eggs! But thats the sort of comment you would expect from a Dumb Bunny who probably has little respect for Morris J Vans.

Just had one of those "LIGHT-BULB" moments while cleaning out my junk shed...
Why do I have to stick to my standard EK scuttle vent when I can do this? :twisted: :clap:

...of course I will fill in the middle with flat-ish steel & remove the EJ wiper arm holes, but..I LIKE IT! :thumbsup:
(this will go on the next version of my car..more custom!)

G'day all, now I finally am on a well earned break from work it's time to get some much needed work done on the EK..namely the diff! :D
So got up and out to the shed to get into it..this took most of the day as I had to do all the fiddly stuff like make gaskets (yes I know you can buy 'em, but I had some gasket paper lying around and it easy enough to make 'em yourself) & clean all the bit's taken off the car as well. :zzzzz:
Here's some happy snaps of the process.
Remember the EJ diff housing I did up a few months ago?? here's it now :wink:
Image
Just..urrnngg undoing this grrr bloody bolt!!
Image
YAY..out with the old.. :thumbsup:
Image
Image
...and in with the new! :clap: :ebiggrin:
Image
All bolted up,oiled new brakes bleed & ready for the wheels back on and drive. (P.S. am getting a hand brake cable made up so it wont be fro a week or so 'till I get a hand brake...no biggy. )
Image

You have to admit the later model EJ diff is much prettier than an original diff housing. :wink:
