Rebuilt a 3HA rear axle.

Crack tested the half shafts and lapped the hubs onto the shaft.

Mocked up the 7HA/Austin A60 type rear brake backplates. Found a 3mm spacer was needed so cut one out of steel plate with the gas axe and mounted it on stub mandrel in the lathe (actually an old kingpin - necessity being the mother of invention).

Drilled the spacer and lined every thing up.

Then my mate Big Dave turned up with a steering coupling he needed modifying for his BMW rally car so did that.

Will start on the axle again in the morning!!
