Oi shut it and get bolting crap up!! I wanna see it Running
I live 15 miles away - I'll probably hear it!!
Not really done much today.......fitted the brake lines to the chassis using a lot of cable ties
I did also get the slam panel back on and it looks a bit better now
get back outside and carry on working.ya wimp.
I would but the super bowl is on and I has no extra metal to weld
But the to do list has been seriously reduced!
super bowl,load of crap.cut summat up then to make summat else.easy.

I need some imperial bolts to make some mounts for the tub up, don't have anything the right size at home not even in metric so I is screwed on that front!
Also need to wait til I can lay my hands on a small torque wrench so I can get the clutch on as my 1/2" one starts 15ft/lb too high for the torque setting on it

surely you can tighten a few clutch bolts without a torque wrench

I can tighten them up and nip them up to fit the gearbox in yeah, but ideally want to get them torqued up to spec
I've only got a half bell housing on so I can nip them up then torque after as theres nothing on the bottom half to obstruct but I'd rather do it all in one go

hmm its just a bolt that needs to be as tight as a bolt that size needs to be ,dont you know what that feels like
james that comes with years of experience,unfortunately doc does not have that as yet.

To me nipped up then an extra 90* feels like 35 and not going anywhere with loctite on it but I'd rather be safe than sorry

i had it as a kid as most did then,bolts havent changed just peoples belief that its got more complicated
me too,i started on mechanicals very young.my brother and his mechanic mate took me under his wing,so to speak.very rewarding it was too.
