Rod operated as usual, I see.
My money is on a tube, like a rod but with a hole in the middle

I'm sure it will be very light - it is probably like a lot of holes all lined up together.....

Of course it's tube, aluminium tube. That's a Stewart Warner fuel pressure gauge Dorian, ready for when I sort out the fuel system.

Tunnel ram bead blasted and rest of the installation finished off, just need to re jig the plug leads so the tach drive cable has a bit more clearance. Front panel and doors with Dale the fibreglass to take moulds off, he's mad busy at the moment but I should have 'em back by March
Back axle all done, bled and adjusted, new shorter handbrake cables fitted, new 1350 prop installed with billet yokes. I'll sort out the exhaust next I think...
