Bonnet Area Organisation


Prior to running any electrical loom I am placing the parts loosely so I can have a nice tidy loom run once I am happy with the positioning


One of the lads in the owners club has pointed out that I have been sold two clutch master cylinders! So will need to replace one. In the picture below you can see my solution to stop the lines rubbing on the bonnet.


Facet fuel pump roughly placed


There are a hell of a lot of new parts going on the car but above you can see a bracket for the wiper mount to sit on and  the wiper blade mount that I will be refurbing.

Front End Brake Plumbing and Fuel Tank Resto

 So the original fuel tank was in pretty good shape and so I set about stripping it for a respray.





Before I repaint the exterior I treated it with the 3 recommended POR15 products:
Cleaner Degreaser
Metal Prep
Fuel Tank Sealer


The sealer is now being left to cure for the recommended time.

Next was the front brake lines. I dug out my old faithful tools..



In the pic below you see the pipe fitted to the master cylinder, that has possible problems, dangerous ones as I believe the bonnet will put pressure on it. To solve this I'm ordering a custom
 braided one from HEL with a right angle top fitment.



All looking pretty tidy
