V12 Super Major
soo it has been nearly 2 years in the making so i thought i would post up some pictures of the progress its my first post so i hope its in the right section
Its a 1962 super major bought in a running but in rough condition,
The engine is a Deutz V12 f12l413 removed from a aircraft tug from Manchester airport.
this is gonna take a while with the slow internet and photobucket ad explosions

Re: V12 Super Major
Hi superdeutz and welcome to the forum, posting and pictures OK here in Norfolk - know all about slow internet here too!
Looking forward to seeing the project progress while your old girl was restorable, she's not exactly an oil painting

Re: V12 Super Major
You will need to find them if you hope to claim it as a 'nuts & bolts restoration job'
Decent solid place to work in and a bigger 'hell hole' than many try to manage with.
the last 10% of the job takes 90% of the time is a reasonable rule of thumb to use in my experience.
Where are you located - in the Manchester region based on the engine source and stonework ??

thanks, yeah its some size and weight, everything was knackered. replaced the back-end casting due to it being broke at the draw-bar mount, both half-shafts welded and machined to remove the wear at the seal, all new bearings, new cross shaft and bushes, machined brake shaft, machined all pedals and clutch pivot due to wear, new tank,clocks,gaskets,seals,bushes,brakes,pins,welded wear in draw-bar pins, machined axle and tombstone and made new bushes to suit, basically every part that can be purchased has been fitted and the parts that cant be bought have been made.
