We have rivnuts

...Having purchased a second, more expensive rivnut gun, we have managed to rivnut the several things we need to right now, such as the support for the top water pipe that you can see here...fascinating eh!















We have also put a rivnut in to hold the horn at the front of the car. We have cut the last bits of hose, for the cooling system, these actually feed the heater, and the arrival of some more jubilee clips has allowed us to pretty well finish it off.

Still haven't sorted the radiator overflow pipe. Have ordered a different tap (from ebay) to see if that helps.

Have marked out the Scuttle (bit of bodywork that holds the dashboard), but haven't yet had the courage (knowledge) to make our first cut in the glass reinforced plastic...here is a picture of Chrissy measuring out the scuttle to cut for the steering column.



















We have also finished the fuel pipes at the front, again thanks to arrival of more jubilee clips.

Total man/woman hours this week 8ish.

Special thanks to Bob (Father/Grandfather) for sending through Pearson special audio circuit tester with long leads..
