It's always quiet when I'm busy ..... I SAID IT'S QUIET

I've been busy fettling and fitting the last few days and with the roll cage due for delivery on Thursday or Friday and a new exhaust on order I have lots to do but none particularly interesting ... except for one ... get Bub running again

With an alternator conversion, twin Weber 34 carbs and a 009 distributor, new plugs, leads and lots of pissing around ... will it start and run?

Jobs done

• twin carbs and linkage fitted (lots of fettling, they were well battered)
• manifolds needed  fettling to get them to fit
• linkage mounting bolt threads were stripped, drilled, tapped (one helicoiled) and sorted
• linkage adjusted and balanced
• alternator fitted (need more shims to adjust the belt correctly)
• remote charging regulator removed
• main charging wire connected to Loom and battery
• charging lamp re-routed
• LED indicator ballasts fitted (no more disco flash)

Jobs still to do

• fit the new halogen headlight conversion
• fit fan belt and cover
• fit the exhaust
• fit the roll cage
• shoulder seat belt mounts to be made and fitted
• prime & paint
• prime and paint the interior
• rust treat, prime and paint the rear wings
• prime and paint the rear light brackets
• prime and paint other bits

Luckily I'm not busy over Xmas (apart from a certain party) so I've earmarked that week for priming and painting but in the meantime I'll be living in the garage most evenings practising 'brush on, brush off'
