Rob_Mitchell Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 M10 X 1.25mm studding arrived and i made some nice bolts up to hold the power steering pump on. Things like this take so much time but i know my OCD levels would go through the roof if they wasnt done correctly and all matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 got a few jobs done recently to the engine. stock water cooled oil filter assembly all given a fresh paint job and connected up using some 24k gold jubilee clips which i kept off the gold rush. Also fitted the spark plugs and a set of brand new coil packs. just need some more stud and dome head nuts to finish off some bolts for engine mounts.
