Rod operated as usual, I see. :thumbright:
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 :roll: 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...
