Thanks ozzy, but its not friday anymore :(




Evening all, a little update is due.  The MOT was booked for Friday but....  :(  I've changed my mind and will be waiting till the start of April.  I'll have more money, I'll have a little more time to finish a few extra jobs, and most importantly I won't have any time this month to fiddle with or drive it, so I might as well wait and not spend any money on tax this month when I wouldn't be using it much.  Its a bummer, but what is a couple more weeks after 3 years!

On a lighter note these arrived today, the fronts only at the moment, as the rear AVOs weren't as bad as the front's and money was tight.  The rears will be on order very shortly. 



I spent a few minutes with Rivnuts mounting the little fire extinguisher (or however you spell it)


And the spare wheel arrived today, it appears to have never been used, so I'm quite pleased with £30 delivered :)  Anyone guess what its from??


You can see I've found another jack too, and made a little modification to it to make it a little more stable.  I know where the wheel is going, just got to find somewhere secure (reads no rattles) to put the jack and wheel brace. 

On another note, I had a thought regarding the dampers.  I'd like to protect these ones a bit better than I did the AVOs so I think I might try and find some covers for them, like water proof canvas or something. 

More to come

30 quid for an LC space saver is pretty good.

From the position and the filter I'd guess they are the fuel pipes, then back through the inner wing... but I'll await the builders observations :) :)

And that certainly looks like an in-line filter.

You are all completely.........                  correct!

The aluminium covers are those found on your omegas, I thought it worth keeping for their heat sheilding properties, and they should help protect the hoses where they go in through the inner wing.  (I still need to put a gromit in there really)
