Made great progress on the rebuild after about twenty years but peed off about a couple of bits. Two brake pipes from the plate bellow the cross member to the master cylinder. Must have got them out but how the hell do you get them back, driving me nuts. Amal valve, one hose going to fuel distribution thing, anything on the other two ports? Maybe should have taken more photos twenty years ago,lol.

 

Can you google images of the Amal valve?

 

Taken from another thread this should help. C = turbo not intercooler . Hope this helps

 

Thank you Daz!

 

as for the pipes get some pics up of what you are struggling with mate

 

Sussed out the brake pipes.. eventually, so ready to hook up once I rebuild the master cylinder with new seals. Steering rack in and just waiting for new ABS belts (no point using 30 year old ones given the hassle if they break). When these arrive and I'm happy with the gearbox seals, car should be on wheels for the first time in about 6 years. Scratching my head about the Pace Charge cooler but we'll get there. Engine out, block painted, new lightened flywheel and clutch, gearbox cleaned and back in so last week was not in vain

 

Looking really good mate, glad you have sussed the brake pipes. Currently have my engine out to refurb and paint.

 

Very wary of the gearbox seals. Told 2/3mm in but the ones on my original box(never touched) are nearer 4mm in? Not so much worried about the distance box have put two in and not happy they are square. Going to make some kind of?? gubbins to put another set in square.Reason I'm so paranoid is I've put one in off the square in the past. P.I.T.A. when you thinks the cars finished and it starts dripping gear box oil.

 

Wow looking good mate you soon got that in. Engine bay is looking really nice.
