Re: Restoration

I carried on with the bodywork today. First I wanted to test how best to afix the reinforcing I've decided to fit. I thought the easiest and hopefully best option was to bond with epoxy. I'd ordered some JB weld which should do the job nicely. There are no doubt a multitude of alternate adhesives I ...

Re: Restoration

Continued the repairs and and pre paint preparation to the front wings. I first sprayed the wings with epoxy primer. I use the HB body stuff, it's excellent! 4:1:1 Sprays nice, sticks, give a good layer that sands flat very easily. https://i.postimg.cc/vBQ85LFr/IMG-20210913-150014.jpg https://i.post...

Re: Restoration

Not much of interest to report. Between bouts of inclement weather, chronic pain, and low motivation levels, I have pressed on with the pre-painting prep to the front wings. https://i.postimg.cc/ry5gZ63y/IMG-20210906-155050.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VLRg1qz3/IMG-20210906-155109.jpg https://i.postimg....

Re: Restoration

While waiting for a delivery of electrical bits n bobs to complete the wiring, I thought I'd best sort the fuel line to the new facet pump. Had a look under the inspection/access plates in the rear tub floor. Nothing surprising but earth connection to sender unit was poor, so add this to the wiring ...

Re: Restoration

I've been struggling with the wiring. After connecting things back up and routing the loom where it's supposed to go, I had to replace the ignition switch and then found there was a short to ground somewhere. Well, after some rather tenacious fault tracing, I finally worked out that it was my speedo...

Re: Vendor Source for Rear Axle half shafts

I was thinking Ashcroft Transmissions here in UK might do them but could only see rear shafts for 90/110s. I don't know if these are compatible, probably not, but might be worth contacting them for a steer in the right direction though. Then there's DDE where Bryan is busy making various parts for S...

Re: Restoration

Brown is pretty important. Should be connected to the IND terminal on the alternator (IIRC). After a lot of digging, turns out the thin brown wire was for the battery sensing on earlier versions of the alternator. Mine should have Lucas 18ACR, which it probably is, which if I've understood correctl...

Re: Restoration

I spent the afternoon with my multimeter, a photocopy of the schematic from the supplement, and some degreaser. I've managed to identify most of what I have. There's wiring for choke thermostat and switch of which I have neither, and the fuel pump supply seems to have a yellow cable instead of white...

Re: Restoration

It's been a good month since I last did any significant work on my vehicle. I resumed yesterday by fitting a replacement indicator stalk and screw in washer push microswitch. I'd threaded the loom back through the bulkhead and put the instrument pod/panel in place. Problem now is trying to unravel t...

Re: Restoration

I seem to have contracted a cold, eyes puffy and watering, sore throat, etc. so not much going on. Last bit of work I did was fitting the new fuel pump. I unbolted the pump from its location on inside of chassis rail behind driver and drained off the little petrol that was still in the line from tan...

Re: Restoration

Time to fit the carburettor I've had the new edelbrock 500 sitting in its box waiting to be fitted since last year. Time has at last come to bolt it onto the manifold and connect it up. https://i.postimg.cc/gj1PhcqS/IMG-20210611-153651.jpg Cleaned the tape off of the manifold that was covering the l...
