Which gutter, presume the bit above the doors, is it okay for
the weight? When I did mine a few years back I had no hoist or
crane and did consider something like a pole across the top
somehow but wasn't sure it would take the weight of the box (not
the pole but wherever it ended up resting on) so I ended up just
wrapping some rope around the box and standing on the chassis
(or some other handy spot, cant remember now) and pulling it
back on the rope, easy to get out and pulled back, total cunt to
get back in using a trolley jack on uneven ground, especially
more so when the seal bust in the jack and the best I could find
at short notice was a scissor jack out of someone's car,
balanced on several lumps of wood and brick to get it high
enough...not really recommended!! :-\ ::)

yes above the doors, the galvy piece that runs around the roof
also is inside the cab so plenty strong enough
it's the bit that pours water on your right knee on damp
mornings rofl

Excellent ....that's handy to know for next time, much easier
than pissing around with knackered trolley jacks!
As for the water...mine leaks in that much it's sometimes hard
to tell where it comes from! :smile1

Top tip for today is not to use roofing bolts to fix the front
floors down if you ever want to get the floors back up in a
hurry...

Re: Clutch slippage question**broken diaphragm spring**

I discovered today that the reason my clutch was slipping was
that the diaphragm spring in the clutch cover had cracked
completely in half.
I guess I was lucky to have spotted that just as I was
tightening up the last bolt to fix it back to the flywheel.

This is the broken diaphragm spring,and the reason my clutch was
slipping - note the break at 11 o'clock,there's a crack at 5
o'clock too that doesn't show in the
