thick alloy ones round our way

[RODZMINI71]

Still waiting for the correct primary thrust washer to arrive so I'm trying to sort out other little jobs like-

 

1/ Should i cut into the pretty aluminium rocker cover and add a breather ?

 

2/ Run with a catch tank or have small K&N filters dotted around the engine bay  ?

 

Any advice would be great full ;) 

 

[RODZMINI71]

A little quiz for those reading this ;)

 

1/ Where the heck does this go ?

 

 

2/ Which 'A' Series engine was this breather fitted to (fits where the mechanical lift pump bolts to) ?

 

 

 

With a little luck im coming to the end of all the wire brushing,priming and painting ;)

 

 

 

today's little job is to make one of these little sods as cheapest i could find was £15

The breather is off a turbo

[RODZMINI71]

I have no idea how i have ended up with it as iv never had a turbo Engine  in bits. Will definitely be fitting it tho ;) Save making a blanking plate.

Many thanks for your reply's.

Managed to sneak into the shed and made this ;)

 

 

A little fettling needed and it will better than new ;) Found some tasty thick wall pipe, take a phew more years to end up like the original.

[RODZMINI71]

I knew we would beat the French ! Excellent weekend :)
