Build Day 161.....More Plumbing
Due to my work being a PITA and sending me all over the world, I've not spent much time at all on the car over the last month. I have, though, done the odd hour here and there to add up to a whole build day.
Firstly, the car is back up on stands so that it's easier to work on. Pretty much finished plumbing the clutch, including mounting the damper and fluid reservoir for it. Only bit I need to do is make up a length of flexi hose. Unfortunately I ordered in the wrong hose connectors, so this will have to wait till I put in another order with the suppliers.
I've also fabricated the throttle cable mounting and shortened the original cable from the Rover donor to fit.
Also started in earnest to plumb up the cooling system. In doing so, though, it appears that I will have to re-think the position of the water pump. I'll probably have to alter the engine block connector as well. When modified, this will also act as the new mounting for the pump.
