How's the 'lectrics coming on?
Good stuff. I assume that hose/pipe is designed to be used with fuel?
Not too bad Ian, got my "ignition live" relay in to feed all my extra goodies and ordered myself a new air horn to wire in lol Once I get a coil and a bit more done it may be ready for starting.
Yes Adam, it's meant for fuel. £1.23 a metre isn't too bad either.
Might ditch that plastic fuel hose and just run rubber to the front, reduces the number of connections and will probably make it easier to route too
On with the exhaust lambda boss, marked out on the manifold:

22mm hole:

That houses this snugly:

Will sit here, hopefully out of the way of the tiebar and driveshaft:

I'd have welded it in but the boss is faulty, so they're sending me a new one:

Next up something niggly that was stopping me from mounting the dashboard properly, I had chopped the passenger side one of these out in a crazy weight saving spree:

So one hole and rivnut later:

I now have one again, removable too

Dug out my radiator and fitted that up, cos I don't think I could do it with the manifold in place:

Slimline fan ready to be mounted on the front, when I get a fitting kit:

And continuing with the cooling system, dug this out, just need to find a way to secure it in position as I've screwed myself over and boxed it out where the old latch was!

Good work on the manifold.
I hope you aint using that old coolant tank lol
L-shaped bracket and bolt it to the turret?
Tank will be cleaned up, just took the first one I found to chop up and work out what needs modding. Didn't want to drill the box section as it may let water in and rust from the inside, might make up a bracket to meet the wing hole.
Yeah, a s-shaped kind of bracket and bolt under the wing bolt.
All starting to look very pretty now Iain!
Thanks to Tom Reid for the ignition coil, painted it up nice and got it fitted (for my reference since I had to remove it, the yellow sticker said WW 0 221 600 057):

Got my lambda bung welded in to the exhaust:

New bung is threaded nicely so the bolt goes in nice and straight:

It's currently drying after being cleaned ready for some matt black 650C paint.
Are you not breaking this yet?
