Not today but over the weekend I put the engine back in, with a new alloy sump and standard number of clutch springs.The clutch is now operable without needing legs like a power lifter! I didn't need to adjust the pedal so I didn't get to test out my bolt on the end of the shaft trick (but if I hadn't done that mod of course I WOULD have had to adjust it).
I also fitted the new DD inlet manifold which suits my carb exactly so now I can start looking at how to do the exhaust. I also bolted all the accessories on, starter, dynamo, distributor and everything will fit under the bonnet. Handy!
I do need to order some bolts and things, longer ones for the sump, and also the 8 bolts that hold the hardy spicer prop shaft in. I know they are 5/16ths but can someone please tell me the length? I am not home to check. I think it will be 3/4 or 1 inch long? And I am guessing it's best to use nylock nuts?
