darve Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Liking the finish of the cam cover etc, very classy. Good to see you're focusing your energy into something positive - going to be one very well built westy when yoy have finished. Thanks Pete - doing the best I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Pic of what the offending bush should look like, you can see how it splits length ways to clip in the tube. This is actually a column mount for a LHD car but it gives you the idea. No idea why I had one of these in my kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 They look very similar to the old BMC steering column bushes after they upgraded from the felt ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darve Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 cheers Mark I'll fire an email off the Westfild as I'm sure I have got anything like that. I only have the outer metal bracket itself, none of the inside parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One high pitch, one low. Dashboard wiring completed after getting hold of another connect and some 5mm spade terminals for the switch illumination/ground New gaiter/seal thingy and gear stick fitted. Some doughnut put too much oil in the turret Differential filled with oil Gearbox filled with oil Brakes bled - thanks Bernie Rad fan fitted New oil filler cap and a breather filter fitted Cooling system almost complete, just need to run a line for header tank bleed to rad.

Dommo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 New oil filler cap and a breather filter fitted Does this not risk drawing in unmetered air into the inlet manifold via the cam cover? Oil cap looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 If the battery is a gel type then yes it can be mounted any way, side upside down or rightway up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
