Small but good steps today, Neil’s oxyacetylene sorted out my
Downpipe and it now fits straight on at the manifold and at the silencer.
After a lot of grinding , of metal and teeth, I fabricated 4 wedged washers
To give the headlamps a chance of pointing forward.
These CAV lamps have no adjustment at the stalk unlike
Lucas ones.
The’re held together with an upper cross strap, still to figure out the
bottom one.
The radiator and lamps are pretty well ready to bolt on to the flitches .
I’ve made an alloy channel to act as a rain collector
Under the bonnet top hinge and it also braces the radiator
assembly vis a vis the scuttle
By next week it could be running with petrol in the tank and water
in the radiator. Is Fernox a good idea?
I’ve an alloy cylinder head?
