Bits for the engine and gear shift rod.

Inline fuel filter, Engine Bay Seal - Above Gearbox, Fresh Air Hose - Tinware Seal, Fresh Air Hose - Connecting Pipe, Heater Cable, to Heat Exchangers.


The rubber bushing fitted easily into place, with the lip towards the front of the car. I had no circlip and one was not offered by Machine7. I found a strong, thick piece of wire that I bent into place.

Starting the engine - turning over








Starting the engine - wiring 3

The new bits arrive.
I was thinking of trying electronic ignition but from what I've read the fuel/ power benefits are minimal and I don't expect to set the points too often.
The extra incentive is in price. New HT leads, distributor cap, rotar arm, contact set and condenser for £26 ish.


Condenser fitted.


Contact set fitted.


Time to try and start it!
