Been a while since I updated this due to Money, time, other commitments, apathy....


Anyway, have decided to get it all sorted by a certain date (not gonna say what that is, as I know the Pi$$ taking on here when it sails past ).

So, engine is in and moved back a couple of inches, so the gear lever should be in a better place now. It did mean some moving of the mount plates, but should be worth it. Also, will need the prop shaft shortening, but a balance woudl do it good anyway I guess.

Hopefully should have the new Pedal Box in soon - (that has been a bl@@dy nightmare), lots of cutting and welding required, but again should be better than the original Sierra jobbies.

I have to get a loom sorted, new fuel lines for the injection setup, pump, some injectors and the Exhaust sorted.

Bit of a Bulkhead chop.


The OBP pedals have a flat front plate where as the pedal bulkhead on my Indy is/was Curved. So rather than have a gap and to help with strength, the curved bulkhead was removed and a flat steel plate put in place, with top and bottom "fillets" all welded in place to fill the gaps. Picture below shows it un-painted and with the new cylinder holes cut in place.
