71 days to go

Radiator:
Contacted several fabricators here. Seems promising. Will have to make decision soon.

Engine:
Still haven't touched the engine. Getting late.

Transmission:
Transmission bits are now with Adrian to be assembled with his magic hands. LOL.

Pedal Box and Brakes:
I can't imagine how much additional fiddling is needed to get the pedal box ready but its almost done. Tomorrow I should be able to assemble the master cylinders and bolt the pedal box in.

Seen here, I've added a bracket to support the accelerator cable.


Also, been building brake lines. My fingers are aching from squeezing the ends on.


The idea here is to link the master pumps on the pedal box to the existing hard brake lines, rather than have braided lines all the way to the brakes. Hopefully I've done the lines correctly and they will hold up with little flex.


I really need to see if I can find a shop to help out on the tyre costs.

Prickly

whats almost slightly worse than a cut? Multiple tiny pricks from frayed ends of a braided hose.
