didn’t think that l’d achieved much this weekend but after taking some photos it appears that I’ve done quite well and crossed off a number of jobs of the list. First was to fit the aecond hand genuine rad with an electric cooling fan, then I made some new water pipes out of copper and sprayed them black along with making a stainless bracket to support them off the rocker cover bolt. Then I fitted the air cleaner along with a new filter and new hose (then realised when I was throwing the old hose out that there was a coil spring fitted inside to stop the hose from collapsing when air was being drawin through! Every days a school day hey ! 
as I couldn’t find any new clips for the air filter housing I searched the internet and came accross some JCB clips that were very similar. I I decided to gamble a few quid and purchased a set of four from ebay, some slight modifications made and they fitted perfectly. I then degreased cleaned and fitted the power steering reservoir albeit its a newer plastic type rather that the original ugly steel can one. I then decided to take apart the dash clocks, stripped the speedo and rebuilt with some parts from a second hand one, adjusted the milage to correspond with the miles that the engine had done (22k) worked it out with Turners reciept for the engine and MOT history and its ready to be put back together. Job for tomorrow me thinks …
