If ever there was a truer statement it must be with one step forward there are 2 steps back!
So tonight I decided to fit the fans to the radiator. Thought it was going to be a bit of an issue but it ended up being fine, though the mounting kit I bought is crap and I will replace it.
So next I just wanted to refit the valve covers. So yesterday when I took them off I had a little difficulty with the drivers side. When I fit the engine I hadn't fitted the brake booster and they are real tight together. But it came out so it must go back in right? Wrong! No matter how I wangled it the damn thing just wont go back in. Looks like another new booster will be required and of course that will need painting (so there are my 2 steps back). Of course I could go for chrome and at least Id not have to paint it. I reckon one out a C3 Corvette should do the job. Going by the one in mine its chubbier and not so wide in diameter, which will help with clearance issues with the clutch master cylinder.
Oh the joys! Someone want to remind me why we do this again???
