Nice day on Sunday, so got a little more done. Put it's face on
but still no eyes.
had the generator missing, so found a brand new one on ebay for a ford fiesta just 2 miles away for £10. So thought I'd give that a go. Bit of good old fashioned ingenuity of bracket engineering ( ie using what i had lying about) and it was soon in place. Moving the tensioning bracket to the lower water pump mounting bolt got the tension back into the correct arc for adjustment. Now need to order a lucas 3 pin type plug and work out how to convert from dynamo to generator.
Wanted to run the engine but had no spare rad hoses, so looked to borrow off my Galaxie, as that's sat at the side of the garage feeling sorry for itself.
tada , ready made parts bin
Meanwhile over in the front garden eldest daughter decided she wants to repaint the tot rod and add flames
Sun going down, semi arty shot
I have a video to add of engine running and this time with a silencer added, but its taking ages to upload.
