With school term starting again, my "spare " time is already starting to reduce. I have been strong and even though I've had only 1/2 hour windows of free time, I have been in the garage.
The choke cable ... fixing nut? Clamps the cable to choke lever on carb. Arrived and was fitted. Indicator relay arrived and did the trick at reviving the indictators back into constantly flashing. The new wiper arm that has a spring with full tension, so the wiper blade should contact the windscreen fully! Has arrived but yet to be fitted.
A nice step forward was being able to start the car with out leaning over and holding the choke. As the heater is fitted now, and I had filled it up, I could let it run for longer than a couple of minutes.
It was nice to stand back and see her running, as ever with a full rebuild I was watching the many joints carefully. One jubilee clip needed a couple of turns to stop a small leak. The idle needed raising, But other than that all was good. I have also had a quick check of the carn needle, result the correct needle for the engine is fitted. Good to know that shouldn't give problems when the tune up happens.
Tonight the passenger hub, disc and calliper was fitted.... yep, we are ready to fill the brakes up with fluid. Oh, I filled and bled the clutch reservoir up last week. A timing light was dropped off tonight. So hoping for some more obvious progress this weekend. Just need to make sure I stay focused and in the garage.
I'll leave with a pic of today's arrival, leather gear stick know:)
