Break Sump Thing

Todays shennanigans involves freeing out a rather uncooperative brake pedal. 3 in 1 oil and a large crowbar obviously scared it into submission because before I even got them into the car it gave a strange honk and geriatrically moved back to it’s rightful place. Leaving the crowbar aside I treated it to a good dose of oil and it’s working rather well now.

Also on the cards was the sump guard. Now I reckon there are some pretty big rocks in Africa so this thing has got to be tough. One fine rectangle of 4mm steel later and we have a candidate. Now to figure out how to bend it.

Finishing todays bodging was a crafty coating of filler onto all those little blemishes. I’ve cut out and rewelded in metal where needed so thankfully this icky goo is only required to get a nice surface for paint.
