December 2019

Preparing for the initial engine fit I begin marking out the rear firewall for the cooling and fuel system as per the factory diagrams.

I need to drill holes for the cooling swirlpot and expansion tanks and brackets.
I first drill the brackets and then clamp the tanks to the brackets to mark the holes.

These Cleko grip clamps have an amazing grip .

I also need to prepare the bracket to mount the Aircon Drier

The Header and expansion tanks have gone a bit dull whilst in storage and I give them a polish with Solvol Autosol, some of the small marks created in storage are sanded
out with progressively finer grades of wet and dry before polishing, they come up pretty good.
