Next job is to get the clutch working. As you would expect, the seals had gone in the slave cylinder, and so I removed it. It proved to be difficult to get out and was damaged, so I’ve ordered a brand new replacement. That should mean less trouble later on with this awkward to get at part. I am fitting a repair kit to the master cylinder while the system is drained. So new hydraulics in a few days, when the parts arrive.

I have managed to make the rear door close, with a bit of levering and hammering. This has got to go!

In the driver’s side, there is a curious flap/door that accesses a storage area under the seat boxes. The lid is another adaptation, and will need to be re-made.

Inside the cab, there is no centre bulkhead panel, and the other panels have been cut up a bit. This makes accessing the rear of the engine pretty easy, but I will be looking for the replacement panels.

Hi Simon, Do you still have the dashboard and heater? Need these for my Umm project.

Well, I was surprised at the winning bid for this. At £2800 it easily exceeded the auctioneers estimate. Well done Peter!

It is a shame for you to sell it Peter; you have obviously made it your own.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for posting the further information. The white smoke sounds to me like one or more of the glow plugs (heaters) is not working.

Is there any other information about this Transcat? Overall mechanical and body condition. Any more photographs. It’s a long way to go to the auction to find out that it is a non-runner.
Cheers
Geoff
