What was the event?
 
a promotion video. i was asked for the loan of the ranchero and i got to meet up with some friends i had not seen for while
 
New tin of POR15 has arrived. Ready for when I take bits off under the TA. Give it a nice coat before refitting new parts. Costly stuff, around £60 for this tin.

I have paint brushes. Can't easily clean off POR15 without costly thinners and without making more mess. Cheaper to buy throw away brushed.

You worry about cost paying 60quid lol.🤣 Hammerite just as good other suitable paint rust protection out there lol.🤣. Got to keep the advertising people happy.
 
having used both products, i would say that por 15 is the better of the two. por 15 much harder to remove from hands[ i ignored the advice to use gloves]

changed the power steering and alternator belts. to do so i had to change the fitting on the end of the PS hose as it fouled on the chassis.its a Russell Powerflex hose, i should have checked there was enough clearance when it was first fitted.

not today .Sunday cured a poor running problem. misfire at low speed. i suspected an air leak, it was this oil breather/ filler. its made of 3 parts screwed together. it had come loose so i tightened it up with some loctite. could be a pain if it ever needs dismantling. i will worry about that if i ever need to
