Lots of time, little progress, dont mention the football

With the help of local Westy owner Steve, we have made a little progress with the windscreen, here you can see Chrissy and Steve with it sort of in place. The dimensions are still not perfect so a phone call to the factory tomorrow.

Tim has a bad back so was very grateful for Steve's help.

We pressurised the brake system using an EZbleed thing, but didn't actually bleed them as noticed that the master cylinder had some fluid in and didn't want to mix synthetic and non-synthetic fluid. Another thing to ask the factory about.

Lots of other little jobs fiddled at over the weekend, including some holes for the windscreen washer pipes and jet (another area where the manual lies - don't drill an 8.5mm hole in the top of the scuttle, about 6.5 will probably do...doh!)



We also fettled away a bit of the return flange from the scuttle to enable fitting of the upper interior panels that were previously fouling the scuttle and body.


Then we fitted the cover for the pedal box - this - as always - required hacking away some of the glass fibre so it didn't foul either the bonnet catch mounting or the bottom of the bracket that holds the header tank up.

We have used three thread cutting M5 bolts as we will need to take it off again and run sealant under the outer edges ...but we'll save that until we have some sealant on the go.



A degree of panic is setting in as it is only three weeks tomorrow that we are due to take to westfield for set up....
