more of the same...nosing up the spigot bearing at the rag joint & clutch shaft out

16th January 2011

Lee visited and we got on with some tasks.... he's looking butch but on his knees... as usual

working my rag joint - it took us hours to get three washers on either side of the boss to push the prop forward... it's offical we're crap!

So then we successfully and relatively swiftly removed the clutch cross shaft brackets ( which took us days to put on ) and slipped out the clutch cross shaft and removing the side valence - so the car looks a bit naked.  But i do think it's an ideal opportunity to give it a bit of a tart up  

 and here's the spigot bearing now....thoughts fellow fettlers

 
and one more of me looking attractive for my fans

Your godson liked your 'fans' photo but wasn't convinced it was you.........Bit concerned about photo of spigot bearing - is it fully located in the flywheel now?

The rag joint is all a bit kinked so my thinking is that when the car is started up then it'll move forward somemore....I guess I'm slightly worried about the nose not being in enough... But I think I have to wait til the cross shafts are ready and back in before starting the car up....the clutch pedal is currently wired in position so pretty dodgy to start it?
Say hello to Alex then he might believe it's me

But do you remember in the hotel car park in Bolzano 2009 we put more washers in then we ended up taking them out again.... Was it because we hit the toggles?
