Well today was my first proper tinker day at my new barn.
Achieved a lot to be fair.
Rebuilt the front brake calipers with new pistons and seals.
Put them on and amazingly had no leaks in the system so bled them all and hopefully I now have brakes.
Also put in a 6mm spacer on drivers side engine mount to help the header clear the power steering box and steering linkage. This also helps the steering column clear one of the header pipes.
Passenger side header needs a bit of hammer time just to clear the steering but think this will be OK.
Tomorrow will be that header bashing and refit bolt up tr linkages again. Put column back in and front seat and maybe fire the bad boy up.
I'm getting there !
