Not an awful lot to report, my engine rebuild has taken an age due in part to a change of premises, so I don’t think Suz is going to be back on the streets this year…

I’ve found myself a few things to do away from the barn.

So – the front grill is now complete…  



I’m particularly pleased with how the headlights turned out – I modified some electric fan ties to make up for the failed plastic bolts that secure the chromed headlamp surround.



I decided to make up a proper blanking plate for the water bump out of 316 stainless



The next project is a copy of the throttle assembly. In… you guessed it - stainless!

 

The benefit being I can change the position of the bulkhead end cam, putting the link where the spring hole should be. I’m going to have the return spring mounted off the rocker covers next to the carb.



…just wish I had a functioning car to put it all in!
