After several delays we finally got the Cletrac running yesterday,the first time it has been started in over ten years. I have changed the oil,replaced the plugs and HT leads and obtained the correct starter switch from the US. The engine runs very well with good oil pressure but the clutch is stuck,we did drive it by starting in gear and the steering operates as it should.
I was very lucky to find someone in the US who was breaking an M2 and have obtained many of the detail parts missing from mine including a full set of lights and mountings,toolbox,flag pole carrier,horn,pre-cleaner etc and have also bought a set of repro top bows(thanks to Paul and Adrian!).
The next major task will be the clutch and while we have it stripped down the fuel tank will be cleaned,new fuel lines made and wiring replaced. The original exhaust system is present but in a poor state so it can at least be used as a pattern for a repro to be made.
