KugaWestie Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 In preparation for the engine going back in, I spent some time today fitting some cable ties addled around the engine bay and tunnel for the wiring loom whilst it was all nice and clear and easy to get the drill in there. All pop riveted on with a good blob of silicone in the hole first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Been a bit busy today, but I managed an hour tonight to do some reassembling. Alternator brackets, alternator and new vee belt fitted. The belt is a touch long, it will do for a start but needs to be about 10-15mm shorter Dipstick was next Then the starter motor Lastly I refitted the gear selector, mounting bobbins and bracket to the gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 While there is still room I decided to weld in a total of 10 earthing point studs around the chassis in various locations. One on each rear corner for the rear lights One under the fuel tank at the sender end One under the fuel tank at the pump end One each side in the front corners of the engine bay One each side in front of the engine bay for lights, fan etc Finally one each side at the front of the tunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 I put the engine back on the hoist tonight and dropped the sump off for two reasons. Firstly to have a quick look at the big ends and fell for movement. All good so pleased with that. It's all very nice and clean as well giving me more confidence of the rebuild done before I got it.
