The Dark Wob

That is how ah-merkinshire should look.

A short Sunday drive to the milkshake stand and back.

Didn't stop, for convenience of the video. Couldn't think of where to drive that wasn't thoroughly dull.

Did you spot the Renault based Winnebago? (It's beige)

I saw it but didn't clock it was a Renner until you pointed it out and I looked again! Saw a few in Canada over the few visits I've made there....Weird things.

My new tubes are drying.

Phil

Made a little bracket to support the vacuum and oil pressure pipes after having to reroute them out the way of the vent tube.
Made a bracket for the lower half of the tube but it's a bit thick. I'll find some thinner steel and make another.

Phil

Received the flywheel lower cover. The flywheel is so big it sticks down below the bottom of the sump and likes to pick up stones and crap and flick them round the inside of the bellhousing. This is a necessity.
Cleaned it up and gave it a coat of paint. I'll put on tomorrow.

Phil

What was that about tomorrow?

Didn't happen

Did it today though. Also sealed the exhaust manifold as it was leaking from an uneven surface.

That's all the missing bits of engine replaced now.

Phil

Set the ignition and mixture after sealing the manifolds; engine now runs cooler, which is good. That was mostly down to the timing. Five degrees can make a fair bit of difference.

Cleaned the Chief head up a little bit he's still pretty bad. It'll do until I can get a replacement.
Not much else to report, bad weather is headed this way so I'll be boarding up. Again.
