I'm the smug git in the background, (fleece jacket with white lining), leaning against the wall, hands in pockets, watching everyone else do all the work & wondering if there's any donuts left.  Loony & I have been working on my commuter car today, so no Pop progress, but I plan to drain the water when I'm next there on Saturday. Got to sort out the leak from the bottom radiator hose, fit a spare top hose/manifold casting, then start on running the water pipes from the manifold back to the heater. I aim to fix the various leaks that cropped up on Tuesday evening, finish the exhaust headers & fit the silencers & generally get it to the point where we can fire it up again & try driving it round the yard. |

Just a short visit to the workshop this afternoon, so started working through the niggly engine bay jobs. The carb fuel leak appears to have been just a few casing screws that needed pinching up tight. I took the leaking rocker cover off to drill & tap it for a breather, so sealed it tighter when I put it back on. I'd previously blanked off the heater hoses, so have swapped a couple of engine fittings so I can re-use them. Next I need to buy some 3/4" rubber hose to hook the engine up to the heater inside the cab, some dome nuts for the carb -& another breather fitting after I snapped the first one.  |

Already on order -2 of 'em in fact.
A basic rule of thumb for the commercial vehicle SVA says that the interior length of the pick-up bed has to be longer than the interior length of the cab -to stop people nailing a packing crate to the back of their cars & claiming it's a truck. We plan to fit the original cylindrical Pop fuel tank in the bed, tucked up behind the cab. If we do that before the test though, they'll measure the load space from the tank to the tailgate, which'll make it too short.
So we've fitted an old Reliant tank under the back of the bed for the test, then will add the Pop tank later.
Been talking to a mate with a camper van that has twin tanks. It has 2 electric fuel pumps, with non return valves in the fuel lines, & he just flicks a switch between one & the other.
I've ordered a pair of 7 psi "Facet" solid state pumps at 30 quid each.
Drilled & tapped the second rocker cover today & fitted another stainless steel breather. They're actually water tank fittings from the local plumbers merchants. The breathers vent any build up of pressure in the engine, feeding the oily vapour back into the carb air cleaner.

That looks quite need, sounds good as well, pity you got to put mufflers on it.
Did you try the box when it was going? if not, when you do go up and down the gears a few times holding it in each for a couple of seconds, it helps to get th oil around all the valve body. I did not do this once and knackered the box (BW65) before I got home just up the hill, it burnt out the clutch pack.
