The engine overhaul is complete and it is waiting to be fitted back into the bus (see two pictures below). We are still waiting for new rubber engine support bushes to be made and supplied by a firm based in Stafford. These are expected in the next few weeks at which point the engine will be fitted.
A replacement gearbox is also ready. The refurbished change speed box (at the bottom of the gear stick) is seen below. The gear-stick itself replaces the original which had been repaired but looked unsightly. The replacement came from bus 406, which itself received a refurbished unit some years ago.
The front axle overhaul is complete. Whilst the engine has been out, new stainless steel fuel pipes have been manufactured and fitted.
The cab is being repainted and minor rewiring tasks carried out.
