That'd be nice. We'll be the scruffy lot, eating cake & making the place look untidy.

Very nice terry, as ever, but possibly some anti-vibration mounts along the runs where your brackets are, spring carriers or "cotton reels", might be worth thinking about? Morrag

Did that last night till we had oil up to the top of the engine. Also found out the oil pressure gauge works but not the sender to the light, picking one up from AtoZ in morning.

D72 British Bellytank Radiator hoses done. D72 British Bellytank And pressure tested, found a couple of leaks, nothing major nipped up a few bits and all was well. D72 British Bellytank Few things to sort in the morning and then hopefully fireup and break the cam in at !3:00 hrs.

The simplest method would be to replace the top clamp of your pipe clamps with a coil, tension spring, which would allow for slight movement due to any vibration/motor shift and temperature rise expansion of the copper pipe, although for the very short time you will actually be running, It could be overkill, I suppose. The rubber mount alternative would be metal bonded rubber anti-vibration mounts, which you can get in varying degrees of "stiffness" and interpose them between clamp and engine, instead of the fixed threated mounts that you have, but like I say, possibly overkill. Wait and see how much movement is seen when up and running, just a thought for what its worth Terry....Morrag

Could you explain in detail so that a 'numpty like me' can understand please ? if you get some little ruggur ,,bobbins, that have rubber in the middle and a thread each end and put them inbetween the pipe clamp and the rigid mounting point (engine block) it will take the viabration and allow for a small amount of expansion , the normal size are more common on the rear of exhuasts on old mini,s and have a 5/16 unf thread , later m8 and smaller ones can be found on landrover 90/110 air filters and have an m6 thread

And Mr Connor having the first go, Steering rack needed adjusting as was too tight, all fine now. Couple of leaks and a small airlock but all fixed. Oil pressure sender to gauge packed up half way through break in period so will have to fine suitable replacement. Oil light still works as on different sender, also need to modify top water tubes with bleed nipples and source better jubilee clips. But it runs and stops so paint next as less than 2 weeks to go. https://youtu.be/_cYYwxA6Q-o
