The domed red centre Amazon cap and the ribbed PV cap will both fit on the early non perforated wheels.

Unfortunately mine is definitely cast iron - it failed the spark test.
Now considering a new one

Trudge trudge
Awkward corners de-rusting
Boot is almost half done... (well the stripping is almost half done) ...that bitumastic goo has taken ages to get off: But once it is gone the angle grinder and wire brush takes over (!)

Rear axle trouble
Strange little side grip pieces for the rear suspension bush have come loose =>
I´m not sure how import these pieces are. The U bolt assembly goes over the rubber bushing that fits around this tubular part of the axle - these little lips should help hold the bushings in position... ...hmmmm - got a feeling they really ought to be fixed (!) Then there´s the obligatory broken brake pipe of course...

Headlining trouble
Oh dear
Oh dear Oh dear! Blinking headlining is giving me jip Removing the nails was OK => But the next stage (where the workshop manual says to unclip) is more tricky than I hoped. It looks to me like there are nasty shark teeth grippy parts on the sides and front of the roof that are threatening to bugger up the headlining on removal... ...anyone here got any tips for removing a headlining intact?

You could try using something like a filler spreader, with the corners rounded off, and working it between the headlining and the spikes, to lift the fabric off the spikes and then be between the fabric and spikes to let it come free. I think some of the metal strips further forward unbolt from the body.

Mine also have these. They are the seat mounting braces that prevents the mounting from breaking away Ta Kassie |

Is something meant to fit between these plates and the cross member then?

I´ve done a sketch => I might be able to lift from the back end of the headliner though - I´ll have another look at it tomorrow
