In-between making coffee and doing cosmetic stuff, Nick was beavering away.
First big win was getting the clutch master cylinder into the bulkhead after trimming a bit from the brake system brackets, and the mc base.
Minimal when you look at it, but a ton of work to make it fit and look right.
You can see it fitted in the last photo.
Firewall clearing continues.
I hope @nickwheeler comes and describes what happened here, he is more capable than me.
Suffice it to say he hoped that this amount of adjustment would save on some fabrication…..
Errrrrrrrrrmmmmm……?
NOPE !
Buggerrr !!!
Resulting in the whole assembly coming out once more, and Nick taking it all home to remake.
Similarly for the throttle cable where the beautifully made cable ends needed to be remade possibly 0.5mm bigger holes to fit the cables.
I guess that is the kitcar boogie, two steps forward and three steps back.
I ordered a gearbox shifter boot on Friday, yesterday, less than 24 hrs later……l
DELIVERED.
LOADS OF LUBE……..
Fitted.
Removing the brake master cylinder and trying to make its rusted, seized parts move, failed.
So now we have another brake system part to find.
But it will potentially see the whole braking system being new and rebuilt.
Eventually we ran out of jobs to do.
John caught Nick and I sitting going through next jobs and tasks.
@pedalcarjoe Ernie likes a happy photo.
Closing shop at 18.30 felt early, but was a good time.
A rubbish night, netting me 4 hours sleep in total, sucks.
Also hoping to take delivery later of Sally’s new fence panels after the storms destroyed some.
Thanks for checking in.
Breakfast next.
