Blah Blah...

Most bizarre location for a brake M/C reservior...Needs must for now, looking at other options but actually not bothered by it. Doesn't effect my vision justs only sticking 3/4" above the winscreen seal anyways...no more than some stupid SatNav thing or a dash mirror etc...Yes of course it clears the screen!
So thats done. Only thing I should have possibly done different, however that would involve some hefty mods to the pedal arrangement...
Pipe work inside the bellhousing is done. I cleaned the bellhousing with metal cleaner also :) Thats all finished off.

Bleed and Feed on the outside.
Did make a cover for the hole from some alloy, just need to fix it on...It was meant to a cable clutch or a lever arm with a slave outside, but they suck if you ask me...The Burton concentric thing is far better!

More finishing stuff

A special one-man bleeding bulk adaptor, means I can have this sticking out the bellhousing and bleed the clutch alone. The spring bit means no need to do it up and close it.Just about the last fittings needed, bar the main fuel line.
Made a new radiator shroud, it seals to the bonnet via the "bootseal".
Bolts to the radiator and chassis.
Fitted perfect, plenty if time measuring and messing with carbboard.
Anyway its better and more durable than the last one, and 1 piece.

Will probably whip the tubes off the bonnet and repaint them. Made some adjustments to the bonnet fitting, fits better than ever.

Hopefully get the some stuff on to be welded tomorrow, alloy stuff.

Will work on my strut brace over the weekend.

Box and engine should be back together shortly, so can go in again.

Main boring work left is finishing off the gearbox tunnel and painting the floors. Will get some templates made so the local trimmer can make me some carpet section for the floorpans...

This leaves just a thousand unmentionable micro jobs. I need to nail the water rail for the outlet side, also one for the inlet. Make a bracket for the header tank to bolt on the strut brace...fuel line under the car. Exhaust section to be made. Probably a load more too :)

Brake pipes are done awaiting, all copper awaiting flaring and fitting.

Few other developments but...

Slow progress

Working through things.
Pedals are all setup awaiting plumbing. Really happy with the master cylinder bracket setup, its so solid, you can grab the top of the mastercylinder and yank it and it doesn't move AT ALL.
We have steering, NO PLAY, not more than 2degrees on the wheel, feels lovely, steering column is ROCK solid with the new brackets I made.
Been bolting various bits on and sorting loose ends. So many loose ends to tie atm.
Mooo...

Shocker Mod completed!

Thats all perfect just have to make some sidespacers for the rosejoints, jobs a good'en.
K-Nuts used, super strong, has its own washer and self locking action.
Maximum droop is limited now. Wishbone is flat at correct ride height. Has about 1.5" of droop before a wheel lift.

Bits and Bobs

These are great! Can fit any cable etc from 1mm to 22mm.Perfect, no foam seal crap on my car!

Repainted my modified AVO's cause all the paint fell off after 2000miles, I washed them in white spirit and it flaked off! Stripped to bare metal and POR15'ed and assmebled.
Stock Spring versus my setup.
Sphericals on both ends now.
