Rosco's haynes Build

[Rosco]

Fuel filter mounted

Update for the weekend, my gear link bars were 10mm Ali tube with a 6mm bore, drilled and taped m8 in the ends but I didn't feel they were strong enough so made some with 12x1mm stainless tube with threaded slugs in the end, these just need tigging in





Then onto my fuel pipe, 8mm cupro, drilled a bit of plastic to straighten the tube with, worked great



The routing was a bit rubbish due to the electric reverse but it turned out a lot better than I thought in the end

Front







also once bent it was a bit tricky to get in position, but I just managed it, I had a go at the main brake pipe but wasn't happy so will have another attempt one night in the week

Well ordered some brake pipe brackets off my dad last night, he had done them before I got home from work today!



I've polished all my aluminium parts up ready for anodizing



And my rear calipers turned up today to!



Next job is to get all my brake pipes sorted!

Made my bellcrank for my gear change after work tonight

What a day! Got the engine running today! cranked the engine with the plugs out to get some oil pressure, it took a min but cracked the oil filter off and that sorted it, primed the fuel through and she started up! I was well chuffed! Sounds so good!





The rats nest that needs sorting!

Congratulations, it's really looking like a bit of a weapon! I look forward to the day I can fire mine up.

Cheers, so good to get it started, I brought the engine at Christmas last year so it's been a while, it's opened up loads of jobs to get on with again as I'm sure you've found that some jobs just hold everything up, you look to be cracking on well though, I'm hoping to be ready for IVA early next year
