I have lined up the motor on all the mounts but have an 8mm - 10mm gap between the 8 point coupling what am i missing ? is there any adjustment on the drive shafts ? Dale

The idea with the gap is to have the Bushes centralised (ish) to the drive plate so the load is taken near enough to the centre of the Bushes. As long as you've got an even gap all the way around between the two plates, and the bushes and bolts push in easily, you should be good to go.

Thanks Andrew and Alex . I didn't release that the rubber was pull through the larger hole on the gear box flange , all make sense now ! the drive and weight is on the out side of the round rubber bush , cool . Dale

More work on the motor today . I have all the linkages working e.g. . gear change, choke, throttle , air cleaner tubes are hooked up , radiator hoses .

Drivers compartment is done as well . It's a nice feeling to be coming to the end ! Nearly 3 yrs now . Thanks to Colin for giving me a good base to start with my problem is I only have one day off a week other things to do along the way .

Fantastic job, Dale. It must be a great feeling to be so close to the end!!

I notice you haven't installed the oil cooler?

It looks awesome Dale!

Great Job ,Just a technical issue , are the choke and throttle cables should be under side of the air cleaners by any chance, as when the engine cover comes down and seals with the felt on top of the radiator, I think the cables imprint themselves into the felt, Cheers Andrew.
