....... even slower progress

This is now perhaps the slowest period of the build to date! However, there are now plenty of bits on order that should be arriving some time next week:

  • Accusump and Oil Stat Brackets
  • Fuel Pump
  • Fuel Filter and Pump Pre-Filter
  • Fuel Pressure Gauge for Fuel Regulator
  • Carb inlet fitting
  • Braided Hose for fuel supply and assorted fittings
  • Braided Hoses and assorted fittings to complete Accusump connection
  • Clutch Slave Bracket (Getting Beyond a Joke now - but promised for next week!!)

So the plan would be:

  • Replace Clutch Slave Bracket - fit slave hose.
  • Finish the exhaust system.
  • Fit Oil Stat, Accusump and associated plumbing.
  • Install fuel supply to carb in engine bay.

This means we are now getting closer to engine start up! to get to this point I will need to do the following:

  • Rig up a temporary fuel pump and filter arrangement.
  • Rig up a temporary electrical system and dashboard - this means I'll need to order my gauges and senders - although I'll only be using the Rev Counter, Oil Pressure & Water Temperature initially.

The aim is to get the engine running, and the cam broken, before mid November - as this is when the body has been ordered for!!
