Build Day 28

Radiator

I fitted the radiator with the front brake line brackets; a bit fiddly with all the spacers, washers etc.

Mixer unit and accelerator cable

I have modified the accelerator cable bracket at the rear of the intake butterfly valve to the air mixer unit and fitted the carbon fibre chamber to checked for clearances beneath; all OK.

I have also had a bit of an experiment with making my own collar to fit the cable to the butterfly valve assembly. I know, it's a bit of an abortion but I at least know my idea will work and I'm on the right track; just need to increase the length slightly and take more care bending for the next iteration.

I have also drilled the pedal box cover for the cable.

Oh by the way for all the cynics and sceptics out there; I sat in the drivers seat to try out the accelerator pedal and I can't even touch the front of the foot well but I think I will have to try and find moccasins or some such as there ain't a lot of boot room in the pedals.

Distributor

I went to fit the distributor assembly only to find that mud wasps had made a nest in one of the bolt holes hence the WD-40 and muddy cotton buds.
