Manifold repair part 2
We offerred up the manifold to the studs and unfotunately it meant we had to make adjustment which means we need to rebuild the lug up at the corner of the flange again. Its complicated to get it right without the car as a template. so ill need to take it back to Cast Iron welding for more work. The gasket shows how much additonal space is avilable next to the plate on the side of the engine. We went on a test drive today but it's cracked it already.
Petrol tank all shiny and back on
Jon returned this weekend with the pimped up tank afer the work done by Mark Roper at Pinchcliffe engineering. Here's a picture of FN hubby on his knees as he tightens up the petrol feed connections
and here's pictures of the cleaned up carrier with a new plate to protect the botton of the tank, and new strips of rubber foam taped in place to securely hold the tank. Jon got a nice piece of cork from Mark to replace the worn out seal (is that an old DAT bodge?) on the top of the tank of the petrol pick up feed line
