Had a good day today, no interruptions and managed to get a lot of pesky small jobs finished.
First job was to sort a heater fitting for the intake, I looked everywhere as I wanted a brass fitting to match the others but all I could find was chrome or stainless, so found a bit of brass hexagon bar and borrowed a 1/2"npt die off a mate and made one on the lathe.
While I was there I thought I would fit the aluminium thermostat housing I made ages ago but found both threadswere no good, so tapped them out to next size up, will have to get 12 point bolts to match the others.








Next up was the blower blow off plate, I did buy one but it was really billet looking so resold it, Made this one up and bought a pair of springs from Weiand. The other fitting is for the boost gauge.








Next job up was the weight bar, I made this ages ago but never found any rounded end caps for it, my stainless supplier found these so I welded them on, It can now be polished.
Thought I would bolt it on and then realised I hadn't cut the slots in the skirting panel, so sorted that too.














I've not had the blower drive all put together before so assembled it all and checked alignment, it all fits perfectly, just a few more bolts to order.
