Unfortunately because a number of items have been omitted from the kit, today is going to be mainly small jobs that can be done to allow other work to proceed when the bits turn up.
I will also start the fuel system install.
The oil radiator bracket needs to be modified to allow the mechanical fuel pump drain tube to pass through it.
Only the right bracket needs to be modified in this way but both need to be strengthened before they can be fitted. Unfortunately the strengtheners were missing so Tony is making some up and sending them in the post.
To give a visual indication of any loosening of the engine mount bolts Torque seal is applied across the nut and thread.
Loctite 577 is applied to the thread of the 8mm fitting before being screwed into the pump body.
The firewall is marked and drilled. 2 x M6 Rivnuts are fitted before securing with M6 bolts.
The 8mm R9 fuel hose is attached and secured with hose clamps before fire sleeving is slid over.
The fire proof sleeving is secured using a wire wrap.
The fuel lines were missing from the kit so they are being made and sent to me.
A number of fittings are also missing so Tony is sending them to me by post.
The Gascolator and drain valve are on order from Andair.
