The spacers should sit on each side of the rose joint and the one on the rose joint is wrong flip it round the narrow bit should be at the inside, when they are fitted it allows more movement before it binds.

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
Be worth it in the end i think the time it takes goes out of the window its all part of a project its kindve helpful at time it enables you to afford it easier

Dose give you a chance to gather bits as some parts are expensive
Dash looks good mate nice job, same problem as me just never enough money and I want to buy so much stuff, been off the road about the same time as yours.
Any pics of your aeroquip power steering as I'm wanting to do mine when the engines out?

I’ve the money to finish mine as I plan it’s just time. I think it’s mk who dose the dash fittings that convert the rack. My pumps bits are from torques and I brased dash fittings onto the cooler pipe everything will be Teflon pipe to handle the pressure. I may change it again and fit a cooler rad for track use or go electric. Found one of them Audi alternator heat shields as well.
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.

I know 2 using an a class set up I may take that route Ill see once the engine is in
Im quite pleased with it its not that in keeping with an old car but looks pretty subtle. Could have got the newer colour one but went for this so it dont stand out too much. Will save on gauges as well
Cool!
So next month it’s all on the go then?
Are you still doing bits to the car in the meantime?
Cheers Paul
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.
Ha ha, still plenty to do then once the engines back.
Sounds like your in a similar situation to me actually.
What gearbox you gonna be using?
You going twin plate clutch?
That door card don’t look to bad actually!
Have you thought about getting them flocked?

Not really to be fair once I’ve them bits all in hand I’ll a book at work at put it all together. I’ve a helix 7.25 inch twin plate clutch. Sure it’s the same one rod has so will will cope with some torque. Will go together with my cts big tooth in it once it’s all done and I’ve driven it a bit I’ll be looking for a tko
