You know those days…..?
Loads planned, loads done, not much to see….l?
Yes, one of those.
Nick came over by midday.
During the week he had rebuilt the loom into something lighter and more flexible
With its ancillaries
Looks a lot less threatening now.
Scrap from the loom totalled up to 3kg
I had spent some time being a nice boyfriend, and then time doing little jobs like cleaning the paint off the chassis where to chassis numbers are punched in, not very clearly.
Spray painted over it in black.
Then made up a complete new plate that will be attached elsewhere too, much more legible.
After that I started working on bringing the heater matrix, box and blower fan together.
Nick carried on with the pedal box, clutch master cylinder relocation, minimal space but got it perfectly fitted. BIG FIDDLY JOB, TRUST ME.
Carrying on with the easy stuff, the heater box needed some thinking too.
Cut, fold, fit.
Starting to resemble what it will be.
Also made and welded a support and holding bracket inside.
Front strap bracket made using @nickwheeler ‘s Riv-Nut tool.
Absolute magic.
Finally did the last trimming on the blower unit and then bonded the parts together.
John the lodger was on hand to pump out the Soudal Crystal glue/sealant for me.
The actual holes for the heated air to be directed into the footwells will be made one final fitting of the blower, wiring loom, ECU etc has been decided.
More in a bit.
Coffee.
