Billy confirmed! :afro:

 :cool:

b.t.w I still think you need to up-rate the suspension and brakes/chassis more once the engine is sorted   :wink:

(oh and I've now got Mahle - ARP - JE Pistons and Schrick authorization... maybe to late for yours??)

Last bit of the puzzle arrived today!

Small but vital part - a magnetic sump plug!  :grin:

I havent exactly been doing nothing recently!

Few pics of progress on the rocker cover.




Up until then I was thinking of getting it fully polished, then changed my mind and decided I would paint it!
So I ground off the fins......

Then I got some paint!

Also tried a bit of brush hand painting of what I want to put on top.




The colour looks worse in those photos and you can see the paint runs! :embarrassed:
So still have work to do!

Also the lettering in red I will use a stencil. Found some sticky backed plastic so can cut it out of that.

Yes please Boney! I cant seem to find one at all.

They say its 14mm but I'm sure its a 19mm spanner and think the bore is more like 22/23mm
Its a big hole in the sump! Certainly get my thumb through it!
