Sorry for late reply but been away - it’s always been quite awkward to get the gearbox back on the engine on my van and that’s with a lot of wiggle to play - I couldn’t imagine doing it the other way round. Best of luck

I’ve always fully removed the gearbox first - it’s not that heavy. Need the prop shaft off the diff end which is a quick job - you can get away with leaving the prop in the gearbox when you drop it so you don’t need to plug or drain it (though I usually do drain and remove to make it easier).

Picked up some spares yesterday from Peterborough. A good steering column, wheel and steering arms. Plan is to look at doing a power steering conversion at some point and don’t want to chop the one on the van up just in case it goes horribly wrong :)

You could spend a lot more welding pieces in and it would never be as good and would rot through again. Good you’re doing a proper job

Wow a full front panel!!! Amazing find

Lovely reliable engine the Essex

Never heard of this Van. Could be a bargain if underneath is good

that's the one - fond memories of Evil and John lennon :D

Think that was the one I was at. My memory :)

At a tiny farmers market in Great Grandson and came across this for a pound. Quite rare to see this. Katy the camper!! Wonder if they know :)

Amazing cars

Used to have this problem (from where it attached to the block). My issue was the nuts loosening so changed them all to brass and sorted it

Please do Paul ;)

Looking around this is probably what you’re after, just hopefully it’d be long enough. I’d assume same fittings as the Commer as likely uses the same or similar parts. Reasonable price too. He probably makes them so if contact Arrow5spares and know the length he’ll probably let you know this...

Really sorry but can’t find them! Possibly 7/16 unf.

I guess any would fit that’s long enough and has the correct fittings. Assuming they’d be a unf thread both ends. Think I have an old slave cylinder and a box of bsf bolts. I’ll try and measure it for you

I use these graphite rings and work very well on my custom exhaust - tend to be for exhausts with a tube and lip on the pipe so it slots over the exhaust to the lip before offering it up

Anyone else got quarterlights :) I really want to get the Perspex swapped (just piece sealed in place) and proper windows in but the frames I did buy a few years ago are rotten as and beyond my abilities to save unfortunately. Have new rubbers just not good frames
