Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 You guys :laugh: :d ROFL, Captain you clearly have too much time on your hands So while you guys have all been larking around I've made a bit more progress and finished the ecu panel and mounting bracket. Not much to show but the folder worked well putting a bend on the top edge panel and the bracket, I also formed a joddled edge on the bottom of the panel to create a nice joint with the tunnel top panel.

KugaWestie Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You knew he would do it Mark! That passenger footwell looks extremely well organised. ECU mounting bracket looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 That passenger footwell looks extremely well organised. ECU mounting bracket looks good And they're not even for that car I had to put the bolts from from the other car somewhere safe and that seemed like as good place as any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 This morning the engine went back into the SDV, no video I'm afraid The gearbox seal now replaced together with the clutch release bearing. After a nut and bolt torque check Fraser will be pleased to know that the engine's still looking good after it's BLiNK rebuild last winter. There's still a few jobs to do to re-connect all the plumbing and electrics, but it should be back on the road and taxed by next weeked Back onto the narrow and a little progress made. This morning the postman kindly brought me the nylon for the engine mounts, I've lost count now of how many parts of my cars have been delivered on his bike I'm going with Pete's idea of nylon as it will let me run a thinner mount on the nearside of the engine so the mount can be repositioned more inboard without the need to redrill. I'll take a picture tomorrow of it fitted to help explain it better. To make sure I cut squarely I marked using insulation tape wrapped around it and then cut using a tennon saw for a cleaness. It was a pig of a job and hard work to get through it but only needed some light sanding of the faces after to smooth them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Engine mounts now bolted into position, yes I know I need some shorter bolts for the engine but they're all I can find in the garage at the moment The top half of the nearside mount was redrilled so the bottom half could be moved further inboard (hence the narrower nylon part), other than that there was no mods needed to make the Standard westfield mounts fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Did you beat your removal time? i wasn't timing, but no There was several things I did as the engine went back in again and I spent a fair while repositioning the AFM and remaking the inlet ducting. The good news is that it starts and drives again so will be taxed for the end of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
