Dear listers,
I9m into my 1965 BJ8 restoration (rescued from a field in 1975) and
appreciate very much your expertise. I9ve got the frame and chassis redone
(Jule frame) and am now using a donor car
and putting things back piece by piece (just finished rear axle). Your
comments on heat insulation options have been very helpful.
Is there any glue or repair substance out there that I can use to
reattach/repair a corner (lower one closest to engine) of the asbestos (or
what I assume is asbestos) heat shield that fits over the driver foot well?
I notice that it has asbestos spacers attached to it where the screws pass
through. If not, does anyone have a spare around they might part with?
The other shields that I have are in good shape but dirty/greased up a bit.
Any suggestions on cleaning them? Might it be possible to paint them with
white engine paint to spruce them up?
Also, I9ve just finished stripping the donor car frame and chassis. It was
hit in the left front and frame has been repaired (poorly) -- motor mount is
misaligned, etc. Frame is otherwise (!) in good shape (almost no rust).
Chassis needs floor pans, rails and rockers (replacements for which came in
a box with the donor car). Any idea of its market value?
Many thanks more questions sure to follow as this labor of love rolls on.
Tom
BJ865
