this is getting boring more deliveries today.

the KAD stuff was brakes and clutch related

the Minispares stuff was two things of oil

 

and some other bits to play with. first was a fail as the threads are different

and this will need bolting to the jig and welding up. and then have some extra bits added.

 

[nicklouse]

so two days since that delivery and i still cant find one screw.

 

but the box is built.and running free.

 

brake hoses fitted and other lines made.

 

now to work out the placement of the reservoirs

oh and some brackets made.

 

[nicklouse]

right after much discussion it seems that the studs on the clutch side need extending by about 5mm. (or 5mm if the max that can be done or there will be contact).

 so some cutting and grinding and welding will be happening.

not much happened last week as i am waiting stuff.

this did happen which through a spanner in the works abit.

 

[KTS]

What happened there then - fire ?

[nicklouse]

yep big one.

[nicklouse]

new studs added

might need a mm or two taking off as i may have not taken enough off.

still waiting on the correct Rose joints

 

 

[nicklouse]

ok so to the rest of the above bracket

front part. extra support added and bush center enlarged to 10mm (somewhere along the line the original hole had been enlarged).

 

and guess what else i was doing

 

 

[KTS]

now that is a briliant idea.  fantastic   

[imack]

Yeah like the idea, I normally super glue those to the tip of my finger to install them.

[nicklouse]

back looking at the brace bars as jamming washers in is not really the way to do it.

the answer was there with the shock mounts.

 

modified some rocker cover bolts.

 

spacers  inboard, bolt outboard to finish of the spacing.

 

 

[nicklouse]

still trying to decide how to rout the reservoir hoses.

 

will keep on thinking for some time

used an old top steady bracket on the lower

still waiting on the machine shop for the engine work.

 

[nicklouse]

so what is the hold up on the engine.

mmmm

 

new set on the way and these will be heading back.

[nicklouse]

so the reason for the spare block was multi fold.

 

make a bracket for the engine stand

 

and then to start working out the new water pump.

 

 

 

[nicklouse]

change of plan for the water routing.

no water pump this side.

but i will put the pump between the block and head inline with the dry deck hoses.

while i was playing with things i got some scales out.

 

a pre-verto flywheel  7.2kg

the complete flywheel assy i am replacing about the same weight.
