you still have to add those, If you notice the original nylon bush has a raised edge around the center hole A bearing doesn't have those, So you have to add the shim's before the bearing so the bearing sits flush with the case as the nylon one would have

Hi Andy, thanks for that. I had noticed the difference between with the plastic bearing. But didn’t think that though.
Cheers.

So I bought this just after Christmas.

I actually bought it because the body is the original Blackfoot, it’s perfect for my Ranger build. Correct grill, tailgate + body.
But it also came with these.

So another part for my FAV build !

Nice blackfoot.
Ps roofs are gone

Cheers mate.
I’m kinda torn over that one.
I’m quietly getting the missing bits together for a restoration.

I’ve got all of the Blackfoot III body parts, so I could use them for my Ranger and do a proper job on the Blackfoot ??

Big thanks on the FAV.

If you have the good grill, you can make a ranger replica. Or rebuild a nice BF

It’s not too bad a couple of scuffs.
I’ve got the re-release grill as well ?? Basically when I thought I’d never get one of these at a reasonable price.

I’m tempted to either get the grill in fill from Shapeways or attempt what Jonny did and make one.
Basically the Ranger would be “ a fake “. And keep the Blackfoot properly genuine.

That is not a bf 3 but a first blackfoot body. The good one for a ranger replica.
Mine has not the hood ford lettering.

Yeah I know.
I got lucky on this one.
It was post Christmas so I guess people were busy recovering.
