I had a time in lieu day off today.....just in time for the heavens to open. The Colonel came over and every single thing went, as he kept saying....swimmingly, we'd had an inch and a half of rain in two hours.
I started the day by going shopping , to the industrial zone...bought some rod ends, bolts and the sort of stuff you come away with whenever you go to one of those places, a litre of CRC , that sort of thing.
I got busy sorting out the radius rods after I'd made rudimentary arrangements for the exhaust stubs.
I plated either side of the rails , I shorted the rear rods and then welded some nuts onto the end of 'em, the fronts just needed a 7/16 hole drilled and a thread tapped into them.Yet to finalize how they will mount.
This is the mount for the steering box, brilliant , it's just that the pitman arm is exactly where I want the drag link to go through the body....
We scrounged a Jag shifter( well I've had it hanging around for years)...it should guarantee that the car will leak oil, rust quickly and the interior will rot out of it in short order.....
We , well Graham got all the electrics sorted out...believe me it was miserable....
I cut the top of the tank, because the motor just sits too high to keep it in one piece...and yeah, we kept going til the light ran out
forecast is bad for the weekend......
