Small Things

Have just been going over everything to date and trying to finish up the details of things as they are, before any major bodywork pieces go on.


In this view, dynamo and fan belt are now installed, as are the bulkhead supports (from Ashtree). Dynamo needs a new pulley nut, as the original double pulley had to be removed as it was fouling the cooling fan - and the second pulley was acting as the nut.

Battery/air filter tray has also been installed, as has the fuel tank. The fuel line from tank to flex hose has been bent back to what I think must be its original shape and was installed, but has been removed for painting. At far left you can just make out the main instrument cluster. Word from Nisonger this week was that the auxiliary oil/water gauge overhaul should be completed soon.

Prop shafts are being installed, plus various bit of plumbing and wiring that can go on before the bulkhead. Have also started to lay out the brake lines (from Automec via 3 Brothers Classic Rovers).

Once the final prop shaft bolts have arrived and are installed, the clutch slave cylinder unit will also go on. Rear prop shaft is installed and bolts torqued. Also waiting for some new locnuts for the hand brake drum. Arriving soon should be a variety of parts, inlcluding clips for the speedo cable.
