Started today with a bit of bumper fixing
Holds the lower valence perfectly and is just the right height for a shin buster!!
Alternator cutout
Then alternator tensioner and I made the alloy spacer for the bottom bolt.
The bolt is temporary before anyone questions it
Next we turned out attention to the external crank sensor, well, I stayed out the way and Ben played around with the mill to create this
Bolted through the wall of the sump, will be loctited and then the bolt head lockwired together. It won't go anywhere and the bolts will be safe.
Picked up where we left off yesterday
Cleaned the alternator cutout back to allow the alternator to fall all the way forward, easier to install
I turned up some little spacers for the boot fixings
Meanwhile Ben was making something
All in an effort to get this
Which allowed this
The tubes put in for measuring, they will be flush with the outside when finished
They don't look too bad
Meanwhile in a dark corner of the workshop it was turning
Coil on plug done!!
More tomorrow!!
Loving the daily updates. All this lathe and milling is making me want to get my wallet out, I just don't have space.

Not too much today, Ben finished the rally stands, they look proper!!
Plenty of room for skinny old me to fit under
Whilst Ben was cracking on, I looked at a wheel speed sensor, I turned up a little stud, that will be held in with resin on the finished CV, then set about making a bracket to hold the sensor, bit of jiggery pokery
Oh and we threw the headlights on to see how it would all look. Reasonably happy with it
The big job list is complete and we're onto a few smaller fiddly jobs now.
Fingers crossed off for exhaust manufacture next week, we'll see if it can be fitted in.
I now need a set of rally stands...
