Neil, the other local Cup builder came over this afternoon and
was a great help in sorting out quite a few things.

Firstly we pulled out the engine and gear box to resolve 
some stiffness in the gearbox I’d noticed, plus I needed to fit the 
clutch withdrawal parts.

After removing the front gearbox cover plate we noticed some
witness marks where the bottom shaft end rubbed against the end cover.
A hefty tap with a Big brass drift , refitted the cover plate... no more stiff gearbox!

Then we fitted the withdrawal shaft levers after driving in the taper pins. Still to assemble
the release bearing , whose outer casing has had a second set of slots made
To mate with the 3 clutch plate levers. Planning to fit 4mm rollers under the levers to get the appropriate clutch travel.

Most of the body panels have already been rubbed down and had two coats of Nyalic lacquer
and are currently stored in the house.

I had masked up the body tub previously so it didn’t
Take very long to spray the entire body .... 5minutes at most!

Will give it a second coat tomorrow which is expected to be warmer.

Still some stuff to do on the doors and then can finally start to put all the interior
And dash instruments, plus the windscreen and cockpit capping .

Rad shell still at the platers.

Regards

Bill G
