Bars off the car now once it’s back together and at road weight I’ll put it on the 4 poster at work and weld the mounts on so everything sits perfect

Cheers, can you remember what thread the banjo is for the pump or did you tap it to suite? Yeah I'm gonna buy a little oil cooler and get rid of the bar. Managed to get one of the heat shields off eBay great mod.

God knows now it’s all metric if you have a pitch gauge and a vernier measure the old bolts. If not I can dig the pump out and check. The feed from the bottle was drilled and tapped to take a fitting. It’s not really needed but I seem to have an aero quip fetish lol

I got a saxo electric pump to try this week and hopefully do away with the pulleys and power steering pump as I need room for an extra fan for safety as I only have an uprated 205 radiator.

Na won’t be that quick. I’ll wait till I’ve the engine back. Then I’ll send my manifold off for coating order the injectors turbo and waste gate. I’ll be able to get the block to clutch fingers measurement and send for my tilton clutch bearing. Once Ive all that I’ll tow it to work and bolt it all up then ship it off for the exhaust system

Need to crack on and sort my door cards though lol. Years ago I paid top money for a mint set now there all shrinking as normal so no way am I fitting standard ones again waste of money. I’ve decided after seeing a picture I’m getting the covers off eBay. I think they fit really well in this picture all there real leather.
