Cheers Jon. £20 with delivery compared to £50-£75 elsewhere :shock:

Alternator coming from Peter Good.

And get a set if stubby spanners for the manifolds incase you need to remove them in the future. Also use the CSP manifold nuts as they are either 10 or 11mm flat to flat to give more spanner room.

They also do the 6 mm hose if needed. This is very cheap! Nice find mate.

Build Day 1 (ish)

Trailered to my local mechanic who let me assist him for the day.

On the lift

You can just about make out how the jubilee clips had eaten into my fuel hoses.

Engine out

Firewall off - petrol tank area is completely solid and looks brand new :shock: However, someone previously has replaced the hard fuel line from the tank to the engine bay with hose, need to sort this out in the future.

Inside fuel tank was clean too, couldn't believe it. Took the fuel tank out as my fuel sender isn't working. Heres why:

The thing disintegrated when I took it out.

Setting everything out:

New clutch in, went in really easily.

New clutch bearing

That's it so far. Continuing today, getting the new sender unit in, fuel tank back into the bus and waxoyling that area.
Then turn our attention to the engine, bolt the manifolds on - carbs on - alternator conversion - fuel lines sorted - engine in - exhaust on - bomb it down the motorway at 60mph :shock: :lol:

Day 2
Not as much progress yesterday as I'm still waiting for my alternator, so that's holding up the engine build. Cracked on with a few other jobs instead.

New fuel sender in - VDO

Fuel tank area waxoyled

Tank back in.

Firewall in.

Carb on

Getting there...
