.125 steel sheeting is the best with about a 1&quot; 90 degree up against the wall and down on the front. Slant the bench a skoshi to the rear so any liquid will drain toward the back of the bench. If you really wanted to get trick -- put small drain on the back side also. TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

That is a very nice idea.

Plan to see a picture of it......... In my garage........ In a while:-)

I bought a used manual steering box and rag joint.

They are down in Florida so my brother in law will pick them up and if shipping cost is reasonable send them to Kentucky to a fellow sYc &quot;SNG&quot; Super Nice Guy Van Hurst. if shipping is too much I will wait till my parents snowbird in FLA again:-)

If someone here is driving from FLA to OH to NOCC in Cleveland/Strongsville I am sure this little gear box would be great company:-)

Update June 20, 2016

Not much actual progress:-)

I have been negotiating and researching and planning my engine rebuild. I am confident I will have a firm plan this week:-)

Take your time Ryan -- remember, it seems there's never enough time to do it right the first time -- but there's always enough time to do it over again!! TAZ

Fine advice!!

I have reverted from DIY self assembly to having the machine shop build the long block complete. More cost initially but the risk is high so I will learn as much as possible this time as they do the rebuild and go from there.

Are they going to let you hang around during assembly? That would be a learning process ... TAZ

I have approval to take pictures and visit often:-)

I plan to share as much as I can, as I can't find much solid SBO information available for stock W31 builds. Lots of SBC:-)

Hey Ryan, there's a County Garage Ayr Ontario Dealer item on eBoy as link below.
Don't forget to ask the seller if any chance of more stuff from there.
