Tidying of the engine bay continues...

Some before and afters - I was trying to emulate the cadmium coating on the clutch master cylinder.

Using Rover Cashmere Gold and BMW Bright Red - Both from Hycote.

I will most certainly start a thread on electric water pumps, presently I’m still learning about their characteristics, and playing with the plumbing

layout. I’m also having some problems with my fuel system that's strangely having an effect on temperature (first was a blocked fuel filter, and now I think my fuel pump is on it's last legs).

Once I can be sure what is happening - I’ll tell all.

Slightly more exciting however (only because it’s the latest thing to happen)









Now – the engine has all been in metric, whereas the rest of the car is in imperial, as a child of the eighties this simple doesn’t compute.

I’m going to have to learn – but does anyone have the bolt sizes/lengths needed to finish this little lot off?

It’ll be having the full 316/A4 Stainless allen headed bolts and dome headed nuts, after everything’s been immersed in off sea oil platform paint, or

something similarly unnecessary in spec!
