MOT ready and Second Stage

It's been a while but I'm ready to start in the next stage; Stage 2 - Security I will also tie up a few loose ends to ensure the Defender gets through its overdue MOT.

Job to complete include:

MOT:

Hand Brake

Horn

Main Beam Flash

Security:

Install Security items

Remove, repair and paint floor / seat box (Epsom Green)

Clean and rustproof chassis (While its exposed)

Install new cubby box

First job was to replace the drum brake with a new X Engineering Disc handbrake. So I put the defender up on the ramps to aid access underneath the Defender.

The new Hand Brake from X Engineering

I then started to remove the old unit.

Out with the old....

In with the new.......

 

Next task was to strip out the floor (mid way through I realised fitting the new brake after this stage would have made the whole process much easier! Oh well).

Well that concludes two days worth of work, lets see what the week brings......
