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

Loving the daily updates. All this lathe and milling is making me want to get my wallet out, I just don't have space.

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

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... lol
