"holiday" friday

 As ever there is so much to do I had to crack on with some home chores first so the conscience was clear and I was at least semi focused!

I did see this coming so had a quick moonlight go at the clutch bell housing, just one of the 3 bolts to mount the clutch slave plate just didn't  pick up enough for a secure mounting. After it was re tapped and a longer bolt was found the test fit was all good. It had seemed like forever to "just" mount the clutch slave. Missing bolts, spacers, new pins, new washers.

Have to admit it was just a test fit last night but meant a confident and quick bolt up this morning.

It was then onto the front brake pipes, which was nice just to tidy up the copper brake lines, that until then, had been flapping around the engine bay. Under the wheel arch is looking good and ready for the engine before the hubs go on.

Sorry it is a bit dark, but you can still see shinny things :)

I spotted I had been waiting for a sharp Stanley blade to cut the front window beading, so got on with that and tucked it in to the rubber seal.

Another job which has dragged on monumentally is the steering column bracket. This time .... After I had worked the right location again, it all went smoothly. All new washers and spring washers every were. Oh, I have been so used to the rope holding up the column I didn't even take it off the car! I super easy job for the next visit.

Talking of easy jobs, beaded fuel line to carb fitted at the pump and intake has the jubilee fitted as well. Small bits but all have to be done
