Tonight I want to try & have it ready to push out in the street to turn around. Gonna give it a wash whilst its out too.
Just a pic of the Tie bar & TCA's painted...

And the driveshaft seals I fitted to the F15 gearbox. (old ones a pig to remove)

Still not rolled her out... Weekend I expect!
foook! some graft goin on here.. getting really stuck in the detailing cg..
All good; most satisfying.
looks good man will be amazing when its done, what size those nuts and bolts you used around the steering arms holes? in the inner wing?
Thanks chaps. My Mrs has hardly seen me this week. Spent 3 hours getting high on carb cleaner last night (I mean cleaning the TB & AFM) LOL

I got a bit disheartened at the end though (comedown?) The AFM doesnt fit after the TB as the turret is in the way, I looked through some old TV mags & found a pic of Chris Searles Mantzel'd Nova & I think I need to extend the AFM plug wires by about 3 inches & mount the AFM further away. That means buying some Samco reducing bends. GREAT!

On another note, I hooked up the accelerator cable that came with the engine & didnt like the feel, very heavy. So tried a std Nova GTE cable which about 3 feet shorter & it felt miles better, chuffed it fitted too as not all cable ends are the same!
Stainless fasteners are; M5 x 16 with 'A' form washers & nylock nuts.
cool, really cracking on with it now then. It take forever cleaning and painting, but the results easily speak for themselves.
BTW, alway a shame when you HAVE TO but Samco :roll: lol
Not sure I get what you mean by 'Samco' Ash, but it looks as though I need a Cav TD inlet hose. I spoke to a Samco supplier anyway & they dont make 45 degree(?) reducers.
I've put the drivers side tie bar & TCA on so tomorrow if I can be bothered, will be wheeling her out & turning it around to start work on fitting the fuel system & painting the arches on that side.
lol sorry I was incrediably tired when I wrote that. I meant it's a shame to have to buy nice looking bits, jokingly.
