I don't know if it's just the angle of the photo but it looks like quite a crank on the gear lever.

 

Does the reverse lockout give you problems with that bend?

It's the std bend on the ford lever, the new length is probably not dis-similar to what the original ford might have had ?  I won't know until my next track day really how it feels in-anger so to speak, but feels great in the workshop lol !

Today's work was un-seizing the Mountney steering boss ..

Lumbar support fitted today. I've used these on my campervan and they made such a difference to my back so I thought I'd give it a try:

There are 2 backrest straps to hold the bag in the perfect position. I found however that when it was pumped up it pushed backwards more than forwards. So I added a piece of lightweight 3mm plywood. 

 

Refitted the seat back and sat on it in the kitchen it feels good !

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  Happily there's no need as I put the seat in the car and the engines in and a had it's  first start yesterday.😀 So far so good. A little wet patch on the garage floor this morning. I had the wheels off yesterday and annoyingly found this : 

 

Off to book it in for repair. 😩

Can you please get your facts straight. It was just Ali that made ‘us all’ walk to the lighthouse! Luckily, as far as I know, they have none in the Lake District.

I did actually guess that but I have no idea what it is so I assumed I'd imagined it 😂

 

Some kind of Westfield road trip then?
