Shifter
Very nice work Colin. I don't want to sound picky but don't forget about the movement in the engine mounts. Wouldn't want you to floor it and have it shift gears on you. Or break the shifter at the tranny.

Hi Ledsel, point taken. I'm hoping that I've got enought pin length to allow for 3 to 4mm lateral movement either way. I have also allowed 20mm under the mech for a rubber block to the floor. I need this for shimming to get the correct alighnment. If there is still a problem I guess I could always mount it direct to the transmission. The way I designed what I have, seemed to be the easiest way for a positive connection. I am still open to any help or suggestions. Thats why we put pics on MLU, to get help from experienced people all over the world.
Thanks Ledsel Colin.

Hello all, I made a new fuel tank and mounted it in the side mortar storage area. It made it very easy to mount and it will be easy to fuel up as well. The originals were under the floor but to my knowledge there is no record exactly where and what shape they were. I mounted the remote oil filter for ease of removal. Onto the exhaust system next.
Colin.

Fuel System
Hi Colin - now if you had bought a photocopy of this manual you would have had this information.

Hi Bob, I do have a copy of that manual but as I said to my knowledge there is no record of the exact location and size. I know they are under the floor and they are rectangle, so I did the next best thing. No where near the floor and a totally different size.
 Colin.

Please excuse the mess, I fitted the alternator, cooling system and exhaust. All fitting well but I still need to remove the engine once more for painting the engine bay and engine parts before putting back for the final time. I managed to find some time this week to work on it and I think (decided) to make thursday and friday M.C. days as well.
 . friday just might be the day bring it to life Colin.
