Thats on the list the one I did paint and make look good turned out to not be any good so that was chucked on as a quick fix so the brakes could be bled

No need to worry about getting home. Getting off the drive is the problem.

An interesting read, it's a shame some of the early work pics have gone but a good read all the same.

I'll be pinning this thread, keep up the good work.

Went to Brands yesterday and watch racing and had a great day. Not many traders there so didnt get all the bits I needed but did get some shiny bits.

DSN key headed bolts for the bell housing, pointless but shiny.

Pointless ? . Was that the thought when the flywheel & clutch wasn't bolted on then ?

Have issues with my macbook at the moment as sometimes it will charge and sometime it won't. Anyway got some battery back in it now so I can do an update.

 

Monday these turned up from DSN

So nothing else has happened in the week as I have been on call but today I got up and cracked on with some odd jobs with the help from Ross

 

Got the top rad bushed fitted as I didnt have any

Got the clutch and flywheel all bolted together and fitted

engine bolted back in

clutch slave cylinder and bracket fitted

Gear linkage connected

Speedo/gauges wired up, just the rev counter left to do

fuel tank plumbed in and fitted with a nice shiny dsn tank bracket

started on the hand brake but I am missing a few bits

 

so a few cheeky pics of those bits.

11008467_10154174451044848_4290801741184

 

Tomorrows jobs are engine steadies.

have a look at wiring in the rev counter

fitting the speedo and gauges in place

put the wiring back together so I can fire it up again

make a start in wiring up headlights 

 

Thats about it for now, fair old bit done but still loads to do!

You have to leave the brake bias valve as it is you TART as I think it is annoying mike.
