More progress today, for a while I have been starring at the chassis then starring at the loom, well this wasn't going to sort itself out so after trialling several methods I came up with this:
Click image to enlarge It's simply some plastic banding strip and some black nasty but it worked very well. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge So lessons learnt; • Don't think you are clever pre cavity waxing, it will be easier to do it after the loom is in. • Swearing lots works. • Make sure you check which way the loom goes, educated guess worked this time though. Once this was done I did some more work on the engine; Timing housing going together nicely Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Finding yet more bits to de-rust,clean and paint Click image to enlarge Teaser.......... I couldn't resist a little mock-up to see what it's guna look like: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Still loads to do on the engine, timing etc but it's slowly getting there 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

I think you have a strong future in, say, the military maybe fixing and upgrading stuff. They have one or two Landies too

 if only it was really that good, unfortunately boring things like paperwork and computers come into the working day and for some reason they take a dim view of me modifying them when they find out 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html
