struggled to get engine in even though i cut off the left foot peg mount and made it a bolt on job. took engine back out and the box, bolted them together then it allmost fell back into place. stripped the distributor and painted the vacuum bit and the clamp, polished up the ally, came up nice

gasket set was quite extensive, dont know where half of em go.
ordered 500 mm of 8mm stainless rod, shaped one end to match the land rover clutch master cylinder pushrod end by welding on a nut then grinding into shape, threaded the other end with 8mm, [not easy with stainless]. screwed it into the threaded elbow [off a gas ram] which bolts into the fj brake lever. all working, no welded joints and the rod doesn't flex now

Dat's a purdy engine. I've always fitted the engine & gearbox as one unit. It's light enough to manhandle in & out of the frame on your own & if you try to split the engine & box in situ, you'd have to allow enough room at the front of the frame to pull the engine forward, clear of the clutch. Fitting them together means the frame can be a tighter fit around them. Looking tidy Dobby.  |

made a start with handbrake, pair of new cables for 25 quid delivered. took off the reliant plastic wheel and made a compensator / mount set up. put the vw adjusters into it. outer cables fit straight into reliant holes. shortened one outer cable and both inner ones. fed them through the vw calipers and now need some strong solderless nipples to set inner cable in hand brake arm on the caliper.put a small one i had on one side and works ok but need something more permenant.
anyone know of any strong ones on the market... or other ideas
photos of it all on tomorrow.

bit of paint on and fitted into place. the two bits of angle the cables fit in swivel as well as the piece they are bolted to. welded the heads of the bolts to make it easier to get together.

handbrake now works fine first go. be a bit akward adjusting it but only once in a while so no prob.
found the standard end can off my 1200 bandit, guy lets it pass with race can on now so gonna put it across the back of trike solid mounted with a flexi taking a straight stainless 1 1/2 inch tube straight to front then a flexi to manifold.

took the stainless tube off the back which was to be a bumper but looked a pig. put the same tube as the frame on and will put a shaped top on when i borrow the bender tomorrow..
could be tempted to leave the very back with just the inch tube and put a number plate mount to one side and a lights on the ends.
