I like this topic. I went and found some things to replace the rear number plate light nut and bolt set up that holds it all together.

When I dismantled mine I managed to brake both. I got two used number plate lights from ebay and broke both of those when dismantling as well.

I did nothing on mine today, but at least she's at the dyno guy having the EFI sorted....which means I get to tidy the garage. At last.

fitted the lower engine steady.
can still hear/feel movement a little bit so might get new bushes for the other steadies

Modified a CV to make it fit because 75 CV is slightly different to a new one. YAY for angle grinders and lots of sparks.

I went shopping for the 850, re arranged my shed to gain a few more inches of work space and started preparing to pull the engine out tomorrow.

Spend 3/4 of an hour idling in traffic (#!$*& accident on the West Gate) and barely broke 90*C with the new thermo and pump

So I don't have to do anything to it, it's perfect

Bugger all so far. But if I can be bothered to, I may do a little cleanin and scrubbin on the inner guards and engine bay to prep it up for a little priming.
