So where are we up to?  ::) ::) ::) Well the parts for my engine will be with the builder on Monday so fingers crossed I should have the motor back before Easter. Guess what I could be doing that weekend!  ;) ;) ;)

Anyhow, today I thought I'd see how my new end cans will look. Here's a before and after shot. Looks like I'm going to need an adapter made as the pipe size on the can is bigger than the pipe size on the pipe, hadn't expected that.  ??? ??? ??? Mike if you are looking then there's an e mail on it's way to you!  ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up

Absolutely, also fiddled about taking old split ball joint boots off and measuring up for new ones so I don't get caught out at MOT time.

Swapping the cans over also means I don't have to use a sponge to clean the muck off the old ones!  :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D

Well the sun is shining and I'm off to pick up the rebuilt motor this morning. Hoping to have it back in today / tomorrow. Won't be running though as am just waiting for my external oil system to come in.

Will post up  some piccies and list engine specs later.  ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
