Progress Report

Just a quick update for all my followers.

A fair bit of progress with the electrics have been made. I now have finally decided where the fuse box will go (to the left of transfer box) and have made up a frame for it to sit in.

The wires running into the box have been passed through the glands from an IP65 junction box, I will need to drill some 22mms hole in the box to fit them into.

The tricky bit is ensuring that there is enough flex inside and out to enable removal and maintenance in the future without having too much flapping around.

Hopefully I can design something that is functional yet not too untidy.

8 is a great number

tAt last, George has all 8 cylinders working, in the end it was just a tiny piece of paint/plastic in the inlet valve of the OS carb float chamber. This is the result of having no filter installed in the original Facet pump. Now I have two.

Took him for a quick run up the road, and am still grinning like a muppet. Not only does he run, he starts on the button too.
The bits I bought from SimonBBC all seem to work great, sadly I had to spend another £40 as I killed the first ignition unit with reverse polarity). Good service too.

Now I really need to get the electrics finished and get onto the road. The good news is that most of the new wiring is tested and working. I shall be making smaller neater fuse/relay board (new chopping board :-) ) and have some ally plate to make the dash switch/light panel.
