Update - sorry it has been a while, currently trying to find a job for next year after I graduate in June.
Exhaust saga now over , sent the manifold back to TTR they welded the missing weld, sent it back to me very quickly. I fitted it the other day, now I have a fully sealed lovely sounding and functional exhaust.
Spent the weekend restoring my 5 speed gear shift. Here are the photo's of my work.
I used "plasti-kote enamel" chrome spray paint for the chrome in the end, very happy with it and would say it looks better than in the photo's. (Photo number 2 is a brush on chrome paint = RUBBISH). Did the black infill with some smooth Hammerite and a sewing needle.
Just needs a couple more coats of Clear varnish.
To do list -
- Head lamp pods do not rise and lower fully, I have put new springs in and each time they are operated they require the touch of a finger to aid them to move fully, grease pivot bolts?
- Need to adjust fast idle (engine builders said idle would be fast after it was set-up on the brake) but I am nervous about adjusting the carbs, current idle is 1700 rpm with idle screw backed out fully (the only adjustment I am confident to change, blue arrow) Help?!
That will keep me busy for the moment.
