A cracking morning with big progress on the whole car. Oliver arrived with a borrowed bottle of Acetylene kindly loaned by Paul Mayhead to finish silver soldering the radiator tanks.
Engine now bolted up in final position.
Clutch working with only a little finishing work required on the Forchette.
Seats finished by Vicko and Sud Minor and in place. Vicko has also filled the gearbox and diff case with 140 grade oil. Engine filled and oil pump primed with straight 50.
Yorkstone has helicoiled the mag drive cover threads which were worn.
Sud Major has been making a styly radiator header tank bracket.
Jeremy has got the main drive chains on.
Adrian working on fuel, air and wiring.
We are not far off firing up the great beast. At least this afternoon we will give it a tow to check drive systems and obtain oil pressure.
Will report later!
