Great result, that's the best time, seeing and hearing a long dead Cat firing up for the first time, enjoy giving her a good flogging pulling something appropriate now!
All the best
Mike

Yesterday I got the pinion catches adjusted perfectly and also tightened up the packing on the waterpump so it stopped dripping when sitting, but so it still drips occasionally when running. I took it for a drive and washed most of the dust off it and the 87 year old owner was absolutely thrilled with the result!

I don't know if you watch the forum Toby @Sasquatch but this old 5J which I resurrected last year has the factory fitted original curved bumper you are looking for, for 5J1113.

Hi Mark, post the dimensions and he can make a reproduction. Actually I wouldn't mind them too as I have a 3J that I'm setting up ag-wise. Not sure if I can manage it because it will have a #44 on the front but it would be good to have some "OEM-looking" protection on the front

Cheers,
Neil
