Still working on various bits of plumbing

Work (Tim), Homework (Chrissy) have prevented much time in the garage this week, and we try and make it a rule to only work on our westy together.

But we have managed three hours (between us) this week. We did our first bit of riveting, to rivet some P-clips onto the chassis at the back to secure some of the fuel pipe runs, we made a major breakthrough when we discovered a new wiring diagram in one of the many packages, the one in the manual bears only a vague relation to what we have. Unfortunately we have not found a diagram for the engine harness, so we are still struggling a bit on that front. We have now managed to tighten the oil pressure sender into the block, courtesy of a very short adjustable spanner ordered from an online tool supplier.

We have located throttle cable (and worked out with Mark's help) that the one prefitted to the pedal is not the one to use. we have also located the hydraulic pipe to connect the clutch pedal to the solid hydraulic pipe coming from the gearbox. It isn't entirely clear how to fit either to our limite brains - pictures follow -
