Gear linkage modification

The gear linkage mod is one that has been done before.I used a 1/2'' drive universal joint from a socket set.It now feels more positive and not having any nylon bushes to replace in the future i feel it was worth doing.



The wheel rims a before and after shot lower pic is the after shot. I have used a scotch pad and Tcut to remove the build up of film that has stuck to the rims over the years.

More progress










Well the weather has been kind and we have made great progress since the last posting and today we have cleaned the wheels with paint stripper(the wife has been doing the wheels).




Also the hand brake and pivot point is now all fitted in and working.


Engine and gearbox is fitted also the exhaust manifold and inlet manifold are fitted.




Made up two new studs for the rocker cover as the new gasket is much thicker then the old one and the nuts would not reach the threads.




Front and rear brakes are all back together including new pads and shoes.

The paint on the boot lid has turned out really well I am pleased with the finished.



Will post more pictures soon.
