Hello guys!...
Hi Bill thanks for the wee bit of encouragement.I do hope you are right mate! I would hate to find only four after all the effort etc... It is looking good though. One thing I have noticed is the fact that the lever position looks to be a bit further left.Not a big amount, but there is a bit of offset towards the passenger side. This is making fitting the 4 speed rubber gaiter etc a bit difficult,But we will get there..
Leslie.. I always fill the filter too. It does help the pressure come up faster.No doubt about it.. I think just the speed of the engine brings the oil up and gives pressure. It started (like world war 3. No exhaust system on ) but through the smoke I saw 60 psi almost. Stopped it right away due to noise!!
Today I have fitted the air-box & filter ass'y. The air horn(s) Stuble Nautilus), and reconnected (soldered!) the con's to the rev' light switch and tested. All ok!! Great.
That leaves just the exhaust main pipe and box, A R bar and eerrr Bonnet! Which is in Birmingham! (option 1) Mrs B and I are collecting next weekend...
So far so good. I just need it to drive nice now with no issues and ... Foreign runs here we come.
Have fun guys.. Summer will be with us next week!!
