Seat re-upholstery.
- Article Details
While I'm waiting for the engine I've stripped the seats, ready for Alan Smith to re cover them. He did an excellent job with the trim so he gets the job. Alan suggested that I buy the covers foams and seat diaphragms from Aldridge Motor Trimmers.
Excellent choice; really easy to deal with and the covers look excellent.
Hopefully Alan will be able to get then all together for me soon.

Steering rack back on..again...
- Article Details
I have finally mastered the incomprehensible structure that is the steering rack mounting system.
Last time I didn't change the mounts and left them in place, but I have now replaced the (probably perfectly srervicable) metalastic mounts with uprated ones.
The odd bolt placement now makes sense to me, although I still have no idea why there are spacers on one side but nuts on the other.

Back together we go...again...

First day of spring. Nice sunny day. Afternoon spent putting bits back into the engine bay. Very satisfying and really looks good.
