Its all to do with the aisle in the church or venue you use.

The brides arrives and enters the rear of the church, the music plays and she looks at the aisle at the alter and him. "Aisle alter him"

Another job done.
Got the old coupling off at work with a hydraulic press,
cleaned the shaft and fitted a new tolerance ring.Then
used the same press to push it all together. Back home,
bolted assembly back on engine,fit belt,adjust alternator
and start car.No rattles/grinding,perfect.
Thank's for every ones input on this.


See ya. Paul

Paul,

Glad to see it is all as it should be now. It never ceases to amaze me how confident the members of this forum are with reparing these cars. I would very much like to be able to attend to more myself but a combination of lack of knowledge and fear of damaging something keeps me away - particulary with something like the viscous coupling!

Well done.

The more you do the more competent with tools you become. Start with the simpler jobs. A job done once becomes four times as easy the second time.

Being born and raised on a farm one works with tools and machinery from the earliest of recollections. Kind of like kids and computers today. Those who don't have that background just have to dive in and start doing. Always helps to have friends whose been there before.

I'll second that,F1.Bottomtop,all you have to do is ask and
there will be someone here who's done it - and there may be
several ways of solving a problem,plus you'll have the added
benifit of hindsight. The more you do,the more confident
you will get.I am going to attempt a load of welding on a
newly acquired Grinnall,and i aint done any of that seriously
before.There will be 'Wedgemaniacs' on here who will no doubt
be able to advize on this when i ask.

See ya. Paul

Paul,
if you want beautiful welds - get yourself a TIG-welder! You'll never regret that purchase. And a three-
phase unit... Using a MIG/MAG adds far to much rod material [even with a 0.6mm wire] to the welds
- causing a need for extensive grinding work if you want beautiful, almost not noticeable welds...

Nothing welds sheet metal like a TIG. [OK, a master welder can do it with an oxyacetylene unit
- but apart from that...] Arc induced heat applied in the <u>correct</u> place + a minimal amount of rod
added makes for welds that you can just brush off before painting is done. Highly recommended!

Odd,
I had an instructor in aircraft school who could weld like that.
He cut an aluminum dustpan in half and cut a sliver off to use as rod to oxy-acetyline weld it back together.
He was a wizard!

Cheers,
Richard
