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'm still trying to work out what TLWN means 🤔

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?

Fixed the number plate and light, went with the middle option.

Just got myself a mini English Wheeling machine, and I've made 'thing' on it.

 

Not large enough to make an aluminium XI body on it, but good to learn the skills for making small parts on.

 

 

 

I've even managed to get a 3-d curve going on!
