After making the first front linkage (the one on the right moves up and down) the client wanted front weights and said he didn't mind if the front linkage was stationary, so i mad another as it would be more solid and had a bigger hole for the link arm to fit in

Made the weights more like the real thing

Very very nice Barry  :P with excellent attention to detail  :)

My Dad had a silver one in 1989 :) his looked a bit funny though as it was fitted with 12" wheels/ tyres from a 6610 4wd ::)

Hi Barry,

          jus' 'avin a look through and stumbled across this.......... what a stunning piece of work you've done there.  :o I've seen quite a few conversions on here, and this must be one of the best and most comprehensive I've seen so far. Congratulations on your excellent work.

    You may not know too much about the mechanics of old Albions, but I suppose you can't be clever at everything.  :)
