Well I've taken Mr angry grinder to the old steering rack mounts today so I hope the new on fits ! also discovered the coolant hoses around the rad were starting to perish so that's a bit more
cash to spend,ah well gives me something to do

Well new shocks are assembled ready to be fitted, waiting for bushes to arrive for the new rocker arms then I can get the new rack in place and try to work out how I can make the steering shaft miss the oil filter  Got my shiny new oil and water tanks and battery tray in place as well- gonna thaw my fingers out in the ovennow !

Well the rack's all in place, suspension back together with new
bushes/ balljoints, just gotta set the tracking and put the rad back on and I can see how much difference it's made !

So I see ,nice one T . engine looks very good , are you going to lag the exhaust pipes ?
Did you set up the tracking when the new rack was in ?

Thought about lagging but there's nothing near them to overheat so prob won't bother, just set the tracking somewhere near, get it done properly when I've made sure nothing's going to fall off Tony |

Ok , always better if nothing FALLS OFF . ;D
But if the pipes were lagged it would help keep the heat down in the engine bay a bit .
