There is a lot more to do yet but atleast the engine is starting to go back together, hopefully I will get some more done tomorrow and be close to a finished article. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

More progress today, for a while I have been starring at the chassis then starring at the loom, well this wasn't going to sort itself out so after trialling several methods I came up with this:

It's simply some plastic banding strip and some black nasty but it worked very well.

So lessons learnt;

• Don't think you are clever pre cavity waxing, it will be easier to do it after the loom is in.
• Swearing lots works.
• Make sure you check which way the loom goes, educated guess worked this time though.


Once this was done I did some more work on the engine;

Timing housing going together nicely

Finding yet more bits to de-rust,clean and paint

Still loads to do on the engine, timing etc but it's slowly getting there Thumbs Up 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter if only it was really that good, unfortunately boring things like paperwork and computers come into the working day and for some reason they take a dim view of me modifying them when they find out Whistle 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html
