back on with the resto.

we hit a problem last year with a missing coolant pipe that runs from the pump to the rad. it's a 5ft long 2" pipe and has several complicated bends and was beyond my fabricating ability :) i won't show you the failed attempts ! the pipe is now being made in stainless by a tube bending firm and should be ready next week.

while waiting for the pipe we had a look at the clutch and gave it a clean and lick of paint, the friction linings were very good and the pressure plates showed only a little surface cracking. the slave cylinders were knackered but i have some NOS seals and will rebuild them next week.

once the coolant pipe is fitted the engine can go back in
