Extending the chassis of our Bedford

The extension of our 1971 Bedford chassis starts today. The metalwork has been fabricated and laid into position.

We are looking to re-use the tow bar on the extension piece so extra strengthening bars are being made up to help counter balance the weight.

A further strengthening bar is being fabricated as we speak which at present has prevented us from fitting up the tow bar. That hasn’t stopped us from stripping the chassis to remove all debris and applying a detailed level of under seal.

The under-seal acts as a protective layer around the chassis of the truck. It is a thick resilient coating used to protect against impact damage from small stones, which would rapidly chip ordinary paint, allowing rusting to begin

Our Jaguar E-Type V12 pulley has arrived

After months of searching and now having commissioned a small batch of pulley’s to be made especially for us we have managed to source a brand new V12 pulley from elsewhere.

The great news is that we can now fit up and finish off under the bonnet and still have some spare pulleys on the shelf for if and when we might need them.

The pulley has been fully balanced up and is ready to be fitted.
