today I got the carb back on and found some perfect fuel pipe sections to neatly connect things to the hole in the passenger side bulkhead, on into the van tank outlet. In the car later I realised I had forgotten the crankcase has a fuel pump...

As it's cold and wet here it was time to have a play with nickel plating some brass odds and ends for the Special's dash.

The fuel gauge was out of an MGB with an austin decal so I machined a bezel from a brass plumbing fitting so as to match the other gauges. I was not concerned with making it shiny just getting the colour closer to the other instruments some are chrome and some are nickel.

Yesterday (the 4th July) was the 87th anniversary of my RP's registration and I had intended to take the car for a 'birthday trundle' However, the weather was wet and windy all day and so generally atrocious that it didn't happen.

The weather today was rather better, and, as I had occasion to go to Wrexham I took the Seven.

Nice work Mark, and creative use of plumbing fittings

Lovely job Mark. You can't beat the satisfaction of making something from scrap.
