and off to the painters next week
new middle-muffler, so I've now got a RWC set-up for the SALE !!!
new water pump, thermostat, coolant and fan belt on... still gets a tad hot according to gauge...
Did notice the hose from head to the bottom pipe of the heater core s stinking hot !!! maybe i got a blockage or ive got hoses back to front... Possible?
I spent quite some time a few weekends ago tinkering with the old girl and today was the first time I had to take it for a spin.
Definately overfuelling, lumpy at idle - but oh how she pulls!!

A big thanks to Pete Jones for supplying the vital last parts (brackets), you are a legend :)

I love being able to post in the thread again! :)
Happy to help out. :)Quote:

Tricky little things to make, glad they fitted up OK.

Hey Pete,
For something that (I assumed) was relatively simple, the design is quite complex which surprised me. Your craftsmanship ensured that they fitted perfectly!
Many thanks for your time and efforts!
Cheers,
