Side-Tracked……

There has been some, but not much (due to putting out house on the market and going on the holiday) progress on the build since the last update.

Sunday 13th May

With the rear diff and driveshafts in place I have taken the opportunity to attached the rear discs, callipers and flexi hoses, I don’t see any need to remove any of this in the future so the brake pipes have been fully connected and tightened, overall I am pretty pleased with how this all looks.

Saturday 19th May

I have done a fair amount of work tidying up the wiring loom, with the loom in the tunnel now fully secured in place, once the loom exits the tunnel it runs along the chassis behind the seat back panel and then along the nearside to the rear of the car.

Speedo Sensor Bracket

With the diff in place I have taken the opportunity to fit the speedo sensor bracket, I enlisted the help of my parents neighbour to manufacture a suitable strength bracket. I now just need to fit the magnets and secure the bracket in place, I think I’ll give it a coat of paint before securing.

As the steering column is in place I needed to mark off and drill a hole where the column passes through the bulkhead, while not a difficult task it is one that is very easy to get wrong resulting in a new panel, thankfully this went with any problems.

Sunday 17th June
I managed to get a couple of hours working on the, I had a couple of things I wanted to attack today, 1st up was wiring in the fuel pump, I have only completed half this task as I need to decide where to mount the earth, the next task was the handbrake.

I have mounted the handbrake and started connecting up the cables, I will adjust to get the required tension once the car is on the ground.
