Hi cjh,
I can see why you made the bracket recently now, makes a lot of sense to me.
Good luck with the valance,

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was mainly fixing my throttle cable. After quite a few attempts over many months, I have managed to get a cable that works.
I know it doesn't sound like much but it has been a real pain in the neck to get it sorted, now my pain has gone and I can move on to the next jobs, I've also made the return spring mount on the valve cover that works a treat.
To top it off the cable is blue, and it works well with my colour scheme LOL,
Cheers,
Mike C.

Chris,
Thanks for the good wishes, I am trying my best to fire up for Christmas, it was supposed to be a few years ago, however things didn't go according to plan, although this time I'm closer than ever, so it's got to go soon LOL,
The headers are good ( that sounded a bit big headed, not mean't) and I'm hopefull that they will perform as good as they look,
Cheers,
Mike C.

Thank's Mike, the pic's could have been better i s'pose, iv'e not long had a four barrell on my rover and i had a lot of help from a good mate of mine so i know how much work there is in makeing all those little bracket's (very time consuming) my mate did most of mine but i helped with some of it and it's really made it a pleasure to drive compared to the old SU's.
Is that a technical carpet strip bracket i see in the picture there?Originally Posted by cjh
nothing exciting,found time to move my fuel pump,it was right behind the rear valance and now further inside the boot.now i'll be able to cut and repair the valance (again,when i get time) without having to remove the pump everytime.didnt have time to tidy up the wiring yet though.
well its all painted and fitted now, just going to fit a new boot handle and thats another job done. when i push it shut it has a lovely clunk now.
go to say a big thanks you to crazy dave for painting it for me so quick.
uh...yeah...and....?
it was the only thing i could find at the time lol
I was forced to do some heroic overtaking manoeuvers last night on the A21 which resulted in clouds of oil smoke out the back as usual. 70mph ain't healthy on an original sidevalve block
Got home and this morning found I'd left the dipstick out which explains a bit of it. Probably no oil in it now
John what's the 69 all about then, and what's that roof rack for you going on your joliday's? lol.I was forced to do some heroic overtaking manoeuvers last night on the A21 which resulted in clouds of oil smoke out the back as usual. 70mph ain't healthy on an original sidevalve block

Dave the 69's came from my Anglia when it looked more like a car, it just sort of stuck:
Roof rack was for when I went on my hols to the Nats and needed to sling my bike up on top
trying out the new camera phone,Rad your a bad influence lol!
Hi Chris,
That's the new style filter it will catch on LOL. Rust no way it's painted to look like a barn find LOL

Hi Dave,
The pics certainly gave me some more inspiration to go in the garage on a wet and snowy day. I did fit my kick down, g/box breather, and inhibior switch, oh and I tweeked my throttle bracket and the throttle is even smoother now LOL
I didn't realise that you had previously got the SU's I'll bet that makes a load of difference.
I wish I had bought a plasma cutter for all the brackets would have saved loads of time.
Keep cruising,
Mike C.
Hi Jon,
At least you are still having fun, and you have some chassis lubrication now LOL,
Mike C.
Hi cjh,
Good shot, I can see that Rad has started something now,
Mike C.
thanks mike,took it on my local 40mph dragstrip lol!
i think we should post more driving pics,pop's look so good on the move ;-)
That much will wash all the grease off Mike lol
Here's a video of mine at about 65 on a wet country lane: http://www.jonny69.co.uk/uploads/pop...08-07_0832.3gp
You'll need Quicktime to play it.
I might be a bad influence but at least your bonnet fit's well lol....trying out the new camera phone,Rad your a bad influence lol!
