Build Day 179.....More Wires, and a Broken Pump Controller

Re-fitted the water pump using a gasket instead of an o-ring - All seems OK now with no leaks. However, it has become apparent that the water pump controller I have (bought second hand) is not working properly - I've had to order a new one.
I've also done a lot more wiring - starting to get through it now.

Build Day 178.....Water, Water everywhere....

I started off by temporally wiring up the proper controller for the water pump. This enabled me to, for the first time, try to run the engine up to full temperature. I did this and the engine seems to run very well, but just before I shut everything down, it sprang a big leak from the o-ring used to seal the pump to the block.
So, water all over the floor! Not a serious issue to be honest as part of the run up to temperature was to test the cooling system under pressure, so I expected issues like this. I don't think the o-ring plan will work now though, so I've ordered some gasket paper instead and we'll have a go with that.
So with the engine out of action for now, I've continued with the wiring.

Build Day 177....Back Working in the Garage

Back off my business trip now, so got back into the garage today. Not much to show yet, but I've been continuing with the wiring. Still lots to do....
