It’s been a productive few days and progress made on several fronts.
The new studs came but some not the right length
so had to cut longer threads with a die tool.
The studs are set up for a Ruby exhaust manifold
Which will carry a Morris 8 1” SU whose input flange is happily
horizontal!
I’ve fitted a cast alloy valve chest cover from a Reliant.
Thanks Malcolm for the tip and the hint to grind off
“Reliant”! Nice cover screws from the A7 Workshop guys.
Also have rivetted in new clutch linings and about to assemble
The clutch/flywheel unit.
Lastly the Nyalic coating kit has arrived and I’ll shortly Trial it
On some bodywork parts, plus even engine bits like the valve
Chest cover as they claim it will do 175 C, anyone know
The operating temperature of the engine block/head surface?
Wiring has arrived so that will keep me busy for a few weeks
in between Christmas shopping ...
