Fitted new front inner and outer wheel bearings. I ordered 2 kits from Milners including the hub seals. One kit was fine but the other included a rear transmission seal instead of a hub seal so I ended up putting the old seal back in. Emailed Milners to let them know, 2 days later got reply saying their other stock had the wrong seals in too but they'd measured the diameter and they were the same. I replied pointing out that the seals were considerably different as hub seal has a soft rubber outer collar thingy. Not had any response since.

Managed to track down a clanking/scraping sound I've had for a couple of months...turned out the cap on the slip yoke of the prop had come loose. Took the prop off and used metal epoxy repair paste to stick it back together, refitted prop and noise has gone.

#936 by 123hotchef , Fri Mar 20, 2015 7:49 pm

well done is that the 2 part repair paste

#937 by Willibob , Fri Mar 20, 2015 8:03 pm

Yeah, it was Unibond 'Repair metal for good'. Its steel reinforced epoxy I think. Just hope I haven't upset the prop balance.

#938 by 123hotchef , Fri Mar 20, 2015 8:08 pm

u will find out soon enough ill have to look for that gear anything unibond is normally good stuff

#939 by Willibob , Fri Mar 20, 2015 8:17 pm

I got it from Screwfix, think it was £12 for a tub. Figured it was worth a shot otherwise I'd have had to change the yoke.

#940 by 123hotchef , Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:31 pm

let us know how it holds up mate

I bought a Tyre paint pen off HeeBay & done my tyres!
Well two tyres, then realised the other side has a Bridgestone Dueler and on the rear & on the front some Japanese tyre with massive lettering that would look ridiculous if I highlighted the lettering. Gotta buy another Bridgestone now!

Get some wheel spacers & I will WHEEL be happy!

Under sealing
Well not just today but the entire weekend!! Took bloody ages. But if it's done right it should last me another 4 years like it did last time.
Just a quick pic of the back half.
