That looks very tidy Davy...but do check those wheel nuts are correctly shouldered to properly locate the wheel!

The wheel nuts are all good, no issues there.
Was bleeding the brakes and found my front callipers to be seized. I currently do not have the tools to fully strip them down so I've passed them onto my friend Peter Cooper, owner of Coopers Triumph in Bayswater, Perth, who will strip and refurbish them for me while I am here on the minesite.
I'll be flying home this week, so I'll see how he got on. Ordered new flexi hoses, cylinders, pads and shoes too.
In the meantime I have to replace the lower steering column bush. As I currently do not possess a Haynes manual, I have no details on how to carry out this operation. It's a job I have never done before, but I believe it can be a bit of a pain to do?
Peter can supply me with a column bush.
Does anyone here in Perth WA, or anywhere else in Australia have a Haynes, or workshop manual for sale?
Being home only one week in the month means progress will be slow, unfortunately.
