More odds and sods

Arsenal v Cardiff City yesterday, so no work on the car.

After furniture shopping this morning (Tim) Whoppeee! or Lying in bed (Chrissy) we did put in a total of four Man/Woman hours this afternoon.

We torque tightened the prop shaft bolts. We modified the wrongly supplied fuel tank straps - an as supplied and as corrected versions shown below -

Hope we haven't weakened them too much by unbending them and rebending them...


We also tried to connect fit the oil pressure sender having now got the size 40 Torx tool required to get the blank out of the relevant place int the engine. However we have no spanner which can turn in the available space so will need to go and scratch our head to work out how to tighten it up.

We finished putting foam around the chassis to mount the fuel tank and then we fitted the battery tray....


Need to get a rivet gun to finish off the fuel system at the back of the car now and it was freezing so we went inside.
