OK
So since Jap fest i fitted the drivers side inner front wing trim, 2 chassis bolts with the help of Matt O as my arms were not long enough.
This morning i popped on the passenger window winder, spring and winder trim.
Then fitted the front cross member chassis outer rubber rings and washers that were missing.
Had to use some new washers, keyed the surface to give black paint something to attach to (right washer).
Polished bolt head, job done.
Next job was work out why water temp gauge didnt work. Turns out the thermostat was opening early. Luckily got given spare one with the car.
Removed this very strange thing????
Then had to measure the Ohm's from the fitted sender and spare one i got with car while heating up to 100deg. They both worked but gave different readings.
So with my camping stove, old sauce pan, extension leads and ignition on connected each sender in turn. Boiled the water so i knew it should be putting out 212 F reading. First one displayed 120 F, second 200 F. So as water boils at 212 F i fitted the second one.
Turned out the gauge and senders were sold as a pair from the factory.
Lets hope it all works now.
Paul from Bristol that knows these cars inside out said i HAVE TO RE-TORQUE the head as its been sat for so long. So off came the rocker cover. I will let you know what the outcome is soon....
Final job was to try to sort out No. 1 carb that seems to have sticking float. So they have been removed and cleaned out again. If it does it again (4th time) i'm just going to get a new float valve and seat. Yes every time i check for float puncher.
