Hmm, could use something like that for the final build up over the winter, but haven't got the available cash at the moment, so looks like it'll be Kapri's aluminium shields for now. Not actually sure just where they want us to fit them as the fuel & brake lines are mainly routed along the inside face of the chassis rails, while the exhausts run the other side of them. We'll jack the truck up again when Mr K visits on Thursday & have a proper look.

Ahh, the next SVA test candidate. Pass on our Good Luck wishes please kev.
Looking through the failure sheet, I think I've sorted the few bits that aren't brake related. Only thing I haven't done is heatshields for the fuel & brake pipes, cos I'm not sure if the brakes are being reworked. Hopefully I can order some of that heat sleeve in a week or two. So will have a go at trimming the temporary plastic windscreen down to the right size tomorrow, to use as a template for the glass 'un.

Thanks guys.  Not a very successful day today. Shaved the perspex temporary windscreen down until it fitted more or less properly, then drew round it onto the glass one. Nipped across town to the glass cutter, who trimmed the edges on his belt sander. Back across town to the workshop to fit it. Even though it's only 3 feet long & 7 inches tall, it's a pig of a thing to fit. While Loony & Big Darren stood drinking tea & chatting, I struggled with the screen on my own. Almost inevitably it ended in disaster. While trying to push it into the rubber surround, it popped out the other side, fell into the cab & broke. Poo.  -yes, I did tell 'em it was their fault. I thought I stayed remarkably calm -back in the car, back across town to the glass shop -can I have another one please. It'll be ready tomorrow. Ho hum. Back to cutting the panels to cover the gubbins under the dash. |

Yes, I know.  At least I had a nice pressie waiting for me when I got home -a shiney distributor, courtesy of Mr Spanners. Very much appreciated Mike. Thank you. Just need to buy a rotor arm for it. Any idea what model it came from Mike? |

eeeerrrrrrrrmmmm it used to be in a race engine beleive it or beleive it not a v8 hotstox but if you look at the date stamp on the side i think its a 68,, so it would be out of a rover coupe as thats where we used to source engine,s from but cap and rotor from an early range rover fir (pre EFI) that dizzy cap is just a spare that was lying about
internals have all been checked etc,,
