Well Cage is in and complete for the first time with door bars and dash bar in.

And I have fitted the speed sensor for the digi dash. The sensor picks up a signal from a magnet passing it, the magnet is bonded to what's left of the front drive shaft, with a chemical metal type product.

This ugly lot is known as the Air Induction System (AIS), it uses exhaust gas pulses to suck oxygen in to burn off more C**p in the exhaust to reduce emissions.

It is surplus now so I've binned it...

...but it has left these little fittings next to each exhaust port, question is - Has anyone come up with a neat way to blank these off with out re-tapping the hole in order to block off with a bolt?

- Are the fittings an interference fit? ie Willl they just pull out of the head?

Meanwhile back in the bat cave...
... I've managed to make a neat job of the water pipes, which is important as they run pretty close to the exhaust manifold.

and fitted a water temp sender

I've also had the trusty Riv nut gun out to make some home made p clips for the places that are impossble to get a spanner to...

like where the line for the clutch slave cylinder runs under the steering rack.

I also made up a bracket with riv nuts in as I couldn't get a spanner on here either

These long bolts also hold the p clips for the brake line which runs inside the car.
