I hate captive nut engine mounts.. Took me two hours of swearing to get them lined up. I reckon ive got one of the bolts cross threaded but I sure as hell aint taking it out again. There has to be an easyer way to get this done!! Ive given up for today before I get too upset and break something with a big hammer..

Well I went out to the garage today and it stinks of petrol!!! Had a good look around and found the petrol pipe has split as it comes through the bulkhead. So as its ran through the car im going to have to strip out the seats and carpets to run a new pipe.... I changed the brake pipes that run from the master cylinder to the regulator last night. (thanks to Nigel for a shot of the flareing tool). Oh well i guess its just one of those things. Its always the last few jobs that seem to take the longest.. Im off to our local club meeting tonight so wont get anything done on "Haggis". Then working away for the rest of the week. Never mind there is always next weekend. I am sure if nothing else goes wrong ill get it finished..
