Mike737 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) and now I looked at that and thought 'Did they have Pozi-drive when Bonnie was built, or just Phillips?' Googled it, and not much wiser... I never realised there were so many screw-head designs! It's mind-boggling!!! So, did they? Mike.

viking Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm guessing so Mike. There the same as the ones that were in when I got her. That's if at some point they haven't been changed. And all the nuts and bolts I got in a massive £700 kit form L.R Fasteners so I would hope there right.

ditchman Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 rivet counter........... ..............everytime i undo a bolt off the landy i replace it witrh a stainless bolt and washer nut............if a rivet counter looked at my landrover they would have a bloody fit....and lay on the ground foaming at the mouth...

You spent £700 on nuts and bolts I am wondering if you are not another one with more money than sence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 it did seem expensive, but it was for every correct nut,bolt,washer,locking washer,and all kinds of other fixings that hold it altogether, in the ends its been well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May get one of these for a forthcoming 110 project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Yes everything labeled up like 1 big bag said bonnet. Wings front doors. Then inside individual bags with things like. Inner wing to bulk head being front to radiator panel. Simple enough for me to even understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 right, just put windscreen back on, iv only got the 2 front bracket bolts in for the time being, so it looks all over the shop, but im sure it will sit right when bolted down properly, and still need to fit rubbers on the sides too .

ditchman Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) that looks wrong.....think the frame edge might have flexed when it was lowered into the molten zinc.......you will have to do a measure up and squeeze or bend it slowly back into true-fit..... is that the old one ..redone or is it a new one ?

viking Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Until I've investigated it further I won't be bending anything. It could be the door top that's outa wack. I could even if some how put the windscreen on wrong. You know what I'm like going full steam ahead and getting everything wrong. I'll let my mate have a look first.

I'll let my mate have a look first. we are talking about 2 different things here the door not marrying with the window frame...........thats because the door top hasnt bedded into the mastic to straighten it and the window frame hasnt been tighten up to the right angle....and.... where the frame MEETS the bulkhead # 1 is adjustment # 2 the side of the frame needs bending slightly so the frame runs straight into the top of the bulkhead.........

viking Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) im lost im afraid, all this talk of bending, if i try bend anything i can guarantee you one thing, it will snap, im a ******* animal with stuff like that, i will go full chimpanzee on it. just from the photos it looks like if the door top was over a bit, and the screen was clamped down properly that might do the trick,between the door and the door top there is just a 1/4 inch rubber seal Edited October 17, 2016 by viking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringDon Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Don't do anything rash until the long threaded rods that pulls the screen down are tightened. (Unless you already have then somethings not right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
