Got my radiator mounted today while I still had my borrowed nose cone, I will sort the top brackets later



Some rubber grommets off ebay

Then I set about making some spacers for my engine mounts, faced and centre drilled them in the lathe, then drilled
Them through on the pillar drill as my lathes a bit small for drilling





That's the rear mount offered up



And that's the front

I decided to rubber mount my engine cradle, so have used some spare wishbone bushes I had left, I will see what it's like but could
Always make some softer bushes if I need to



Struggling for bolts, hence the washers, there m10x1.25 so not really very comon



I'm going to weld spacer tubes In between the plates

Side engine mount





Ready to tack up tomorrow

That's some real tidy work there, looks fantastic.

Cheers, pretty pleased with how it's turned out

I looked at other cradles and didn't really fancy mounting on just one bolt either side, I no it's going to be a bit heavier, but I will lose the weight elsewhere if I can

Got it tacked up today and worked out my coolant pipes





And one of the pooch

Busy evening tonight,

My mate tacking up my wishbones



All welded





Rear end assembled again

Might have to remake to top ones to, just because I made them to the book jig that hadn't been up issued although the wishbone drawing had! Argh!!

Popped and got some bits off my mate who runs an ebay shop



Then got it back on the stands and the engine bolted back in

Got loads to do now, I've got everything to get my cooling hoses done, also going to start to look at making an exhaust manifold and a fuel tank
Also sort out my lower engine mount

Got my coolant hoses on tonight





That's the oil cooler return T'ed into the out flow
