Pushed the cables through the conduit and connected them up to the levers in the dash

Also, fitted the clutch cable:

Slowly but surely.

45 days of lockdown should see you finished then, Andy.

Looks like an excellent job you've done there. I plan to reinstate my heat exchangers at some point. Do you have a lift or is it all done on axle stands?

Thanks.
All done on axle stands on the drive - the hard way

Come on Andy - it's been 3 weeks of isolation and no update?!
Hope all is well with you and the family

In-between other jobs decided to put the steering stuff back in - lost one of the pics (deleted by accident) where a couple of connections soldered on the indicator stalk thingy snapped so had to weld them on.

So - column in place ready for the steering wheel to be mounted.

While in the gagare sorting a few bits and bobs out, the cat sneaked into the van and quickly dozed off……

Steering wheel now on - although I have a circlip leftover so need to work out where its from - about the width of the shaft at the top…..

Bought a few bits last week such as the earth strap for the gearbox which I will try to fit next week then start the task of putting the flywheel back on the engine followed by the clutch.

Here you go, Andy.
Item 28 I presume.

 

[gninnam]

Hi Simon

Thanks for that - no, I had no 28 and that was put on, the one I had is smaller than that, about the same diameter as no 36.
It was in a container I put all the steering connector bits in, but I may have added the circlip after and its not needed??

 

[sparkywig]

I think it's one for the spare parts tub....

 

[subheatadey]

Love the cat what's his/her name ?

 

[gninnam]

I think it's one for the spare parts tub....

:lol:
His name is Mortimer - he came with a brother about 12 months ago called Reeves, but 3 months ago he was hit by a car
Morty is right character though

Continue with the engine build - bought new points etc so fitted them and installed the coil:

Installed the plug leads also using the old plugs, but due to get new plugs tomorrow so will get them fitted:

Fitted the engine support bar too:

Cleaned up the flywheel so ready to add this and the new clutch to the engine this week.
Got the old battery on charge so will look to install that also.
Started to get worried now, if after all this hard work, nothing works (I feel the wiring will need to be replaced……..) as I have made a mistake with the engine rebuild!!!
