Made a start on the repairs to the van after my brain fart crunch ! grill out bumper off and liner out
the panels above the s/ pump have had quite a whack so I had to drill the spot welds to get it to come forewords and I'm going to need a cunning plan to be able to pull if straight as it forms a box corner . that'll be a later date .
straightened the main pump bracket
pump back in the right place
I got the dent out the bumper and re fixed the lower grill , and all back in place for now till I work out how i'm going to pull the inner wing bit . No pics of it back together it was dark and cold and I'd had enough .

Well 4 but I presume you are meaning the bit up the stairs. Yes one piece, just under 3m long.

Forkardt chuck wouldn't tighten today so stripped it down to see if I could work out the problem.
Think I found the issue.
They can be bought but with the master sliding part and not even going to ask how much as I know how much new Forkardt chucks sell for
They are hardened and I can't do that but I reckon a mild steel one should last me long enough so made two up, one pictured below alongside the original.
Other one is in the chuck which is now back in action

I believe so, were yours rivetted with homemade steel rivets made by using an old black and decker drill clamped to the bench and a file? If so then yes, would have been him.Next time im down Ill get a picture as they look identical! did your granddad get about a bit!?
