Mattfunk's 120
I got a few things done on the weekend that I'd been putting off but wanted to get sorted before the GTG rolled around.
I rotated my tyres cause they had done around 9000km and I wanted to get the spare into the mix.
Replaced the Anderson plug on the tow bar cause I haven't been able to plug anything in for a while being full of crud which cleaning didn't fix. All good now
Fixed my steps too. They had begun to be noisy on corrugations a while ago and had gradually gotten worse especially since mounting the winch. The brackets were hitting the underside of the car. I had some steel cut for me and made up new plates for the inside of the chassis
Also got rid of the 16mm structural bolts & replaced them with 12mm high tensile & nyloc nuts. Put a 5mm packer to move it away from the fold in the bottom of the sill. Removed steps and removed the surface rust and sprayed cold gal & then 3 coats of black with the brush to make sure it was thick . Put them back on today and no rattles at all & strong enough to jack the car up. I just have to get some alibright to try to remove some oxidisation on the steps.
Cheers Matt
