What's up...


Well, Michelle's car for one.  Still waiting for the ball joint part so I can get the drivers side back together and put the car down on the ground.  On the other hand lots of other things to do, took the steering column down and checked it to make sure it's set up correctly for the horn and cleaned/lubricated the turn signal switch.   Got the radiator back in and drilled the mount for the header tank to get it set 'square' in the engine compartment.
This the adjusting knob for the adjustable steering column, I decided to strip it down and paint it since it is pretty visible.

Steering column, had concerns about play in it and the horn contact.  Hopefully it will work as intended otherwise I'll mount a bicycle horn ;-)

Radiator installed and isolated from the chassis as intended. Should be an issue with coolant changes every 2-3 years.

That dang hole, thought I could mount the over flow tank here so installed a Rivnut only to find that it's to close to the bonnet flange


Radiator and header tank

Overflow tank, hopefully it won't leak
Installed several hoses only to find that I need a spacer pipe for the lower hose,  the hose on the car was not a good idea since it was prone to collapsing and to close to the fan belt leaving the one that was on the car with a groove through the cording on the old hose.  Sounds like I'll need to put in another order to SNG for the pipe. If I do, I'll probably oder some new motor mounts too.
Cheers...
