Nice weather to get under cars... lots of ground clearance with this Cup!
So laid in the main power feed to the fixed up
bacon slicer via a battery isolator switch on the floor at
the passenger side. Left enough slack in the cable to allow the starter to be lifted off for inspecting the flywheel marks.
Also laid in a heavy negative earth cable from the earthing point
on the chassis cross member to the gearbox casing and then another
Clean earth to the alloy bulkhead, thence to the dash switch panel.
Bolted on the bottom fan pulley and the re fixed the flitch plates,
The drivers side had an oval aperture for the draglink but this needed considerably enlarged
to avoid anything fouling at full lock.
Started to re run the armoured cables to the front of the chassis for lamps etc.
Holding off bolting down the starter till Thursday when Neil is coming over to help
me set the static timing.
Finally got hold of the platers , rad shell promised for early June. Cutting it fine for Guildtown, though by early June
The car should be running with its wings on etc.
Not sure of the condition of the dynamo but will fit it and see what happens.
Also started fitting the glass to the window frame, rather nerve wracking.
Will sort out the undersills tomorrow and fit the doors which are now complete
Apart from nickelling, need to start up the plating outfit again soon.
Need to start filling the straight exhaust pipe with wet sand prior to going on a bender with Peter!
the silencer( not really it’s a cherry Bomb straight through) silencer)and tail pipe are already installed.
More pictures soon!
