Heater pipe from pump under manifold to back of manifold. Now replaced with this. Busy making some ally bearing covers for the blower back plate to replace steel ones at the moment. (That finned back plate is a mother of a f***** to polish. Modified vacuum secondaries to fit balance pipe and removed manual chokes from carbs.

Here's something I made at the weekend out of some 5mm stainless plate. No welding or oxy/acet. Just a file, calor gas blow torch and a big hammer.

Found this polish on the internet thought I'd give it a go. This is what I was cleaning. This is what I ended with after a LOT of elbow grease. Bearing how long this bluing has been on the pipes it did a good job and no scratches.

Had a bit of a cleanup in garage today and a few trips to the tip. Can now see the top of the van and also found a few things I didn't know I had inside. Still far too much stuff inside and will need a further clean out when my son comes back from offshore. This is what it was like before. Not a lot of difference but still need to empty garden shed so that I can transfer the stuff out of the van into it.

Fitted the bushes and sleeves this morning. Next week cleaning up Jag IFS to take a few measurements. Must try to get this engine started - been saying that for the last 6 months. Just need a few bits of wires then I'll try it.
