Evening All,

I have been trying to finish all the odds and sods, its supprising how much time it takes, just when you think that you have finished you find something else. One of the items that i can't find pictures of, is the box that fits over the battery, assuming that there should be one. Today it's been minus degrees and snowing, so I have made the number plate mounting plates and painted stars. Tonight I need to make the census number stencil and get that painted on. I could then do with a dry sunny day to get it out and clean up but that's something I can't control.

I need toe go and buy some more canvas so that I can make the two tilts and the pads that go around the observation ring. Anyone know of any period jacks for sale?

I have only given the stars one coat of paint and it could do with another but would they have been that bothered.

Evening All,

Its a bit cold today but sunny so I decided to get the old boy out and do some vacuuming and tidying up as the mess was irritating me somewhat. As it was the first, albeit short drive I expected to find something wrong but it was only when I crushed my hand against the oil filter housing that I found out that the gear stick had been in the correct way to start with, ouch. Other than that all seemed ok, lets hope that it continues so. I think that they make a lovely couple.

Looks good Jonathon and yes the oil/water leaks will come with usage and as for the gearstick well I have mine the other way and though it doesn't feel right it doesn't hit anything.

Jonathon,
PM sent to you re a vehicle jack that may suit your need.

Hi Jonathon did you find out wether the battery had a lid? I made a box to go over my battery but it got in the way of the gearstick, I also asked Sjoerd on the Morris C8 website about the brass data plates but no joy yet. The other issue I had was the oil filler pipe which had no pin to secure the filler cap, I made a pin so hopefully the cap will not come loose and allow oil to leak.
