I just wanted to see you order some 400mm ones and try to get them to fit

How are you going to fill it up if it's staying where it is now? you won't be able to reach it from the boot, and the seat is in the way from the door


there will be a filler cap in the window..... how very cool!

Yeah, it'll have to be next week now.

It's from an 820 or something, possibly the T16 engine.

There's not much of an update today, everything we attempted we couldn't do, so we've put the cam pullies on finger tight and given up

I've got 3 pics, but they're rubbish and I can't find my cable ATM

remounted the electric water pump today, was using the original plastic water pipe but it left the pump too close to the head for my liking, bit squashed, so found a stainless bend to use, ill be adding 3 take offs to the stainless and make it a bit longer so there is less silicone, then ill get the two main water pipes in blue to match.

ordered two rad fans and a small red top battery on friday.

also remounted the alternator, and set that up spaced correctly, took a while making spacers for it etc....

will soon be ready to bolt the head down properly when the water pipe is done, and the main wiring loom for the starter and alternator.

also found some ally strips to mount the fuel tank which is a result!

dave i did yes cheers for that, very cheap!

robin will look so much better when the water hose if finished, will get it powder coated black aswell to make it look even better.

as for valve clearance, that is still to be determined as the head hasn't been torqued down yet
