robah Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Come on Rob, posts like that are no good without piccies mate I just put some train pics up for Rab Now if it was a Deltic engine I would have been drooling. Got my phone working again, went to the car tonight after finishing work @ 0200, damn too cold to work there, came back to my warmish room. I will get some piccies on the phone and upload today or tomorrow morn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Photo's added just for you Clive I had a bit of a diary going on my old laptop RIP before I broke it, and was going to copy and paste on to here, including photos. I will have to try and recover it all at a later date. To top it off my camera on the phone is playing up. Quick update. 1. Front Axle refitted poly bushed (thanks TJM for the kits) 2. Clutch fitted engine and gearbox mated and fitted in to the car, now needs plumbing in. (thanks Kev for the clutch kit) 3. Should get my rear axle back from powdercoating next week (only 12 months ) 4. Should get Silicon hoses manufactured this week. A Bit of a tight fit near back of inlet for the heater hose. 5. I have refitted original wing mirrors due to money and time restraints, will change at a later date. 6. Fuel Tank coated internally with Slosh Tank seal kit. (very messy, and went off quicker than expected ) 7. Replacement loom fitted (thanks Snapper09). Car Sitting a lot better at front now. Rob I think I need a steady hand and better camera technique My Drivers side engine mount is stretching and looks like the rubber might come away from the metal mount surround. What is the best after market mount to fit to this side? Edited February 7, 2012 by robah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use a pair of the rally design ones, at £6 each you can't go wrong, and the dimensions are close enough to be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yea they are 50 mm hard rubber. The QH ones are soft , don't get them. Any parts supplier should be able to get them. The price of them has doubled in recent years to nearly £10 each! Love the Monaco blue on the 400. Don't see many in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 I already have this http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=1740_1741_1750&products_id=13039 on my nearside mount. Probably not the best with it's not recommended for road use. But hey I bought it and I will stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Some work I achieved this weekend. Just needs tidying up around the vents, Hope to finally get rear axle back after 12 months, from powdercoated, next week. Silicon hoses should be completed by weekend. Now going to try and find my spring for column so I can fit and forget the column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
