I keep hearing subliminal messages

I took my 29D distributor off to be recurved, and I had a repro Mk1 S 23D distributor sitting aside for another engine....so I swapped them out to see if it worked (which it does). Very good value at a smidge over 100 dollars including electronic points and cap..

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

Today I put another (5th) layer of putty (bog) around the RH taillight/corner panel. Only five or six other dendts new wiring harnes, replace engine, new headling new dash pads etc etc


oh I don't know why I'm doing it.

Not today but the weekend:

Finished my new air compressor stand/weather proof enclosure behind the shed then tested it out by doing some wore wheel on the die grinder action. Cleaned up all the moke's valves and some others I'm storing then had a go at the carbon on the moke's head and an 1100s head I've got. Very quick with the die grinder and glad I had a face shield, it probably spins a bit faster than those little wire wheels are designed for

I never realised how out of balance a triple cylinder compressor is until it was sitting up on the steel frame with a bit of flexibility!

Worked out that the carby to manifold studs I ordered are too big. The HS2 studs are bigger diameter to the HIF6 ones. Now I need more.

Gave the old dishwasher a workout with some greasy old parts. It takes the oil off but doesn't get through baked-on stuff. I put all my engine fans through a cycle but they still need a good scrub whereas a bunch of head and rocker studs came out spotless.

M

Replaced broken head stud with a non broken head stud amd torqued head back down to 42ftlb... ran out of time to do rockers, tomorrow morning sounds good..
Put the battery on charge and wiped him down in anticipation for the weekend

Fitted the new wheels and tyres that arrived on Wednesday from UK

Wheel aligned 2 Minis with a tape measure. Probably still not quite right, but much better than the 10mm and 4mm toe-out they had.

Nothing too exciting. Some Minilifes with A008s, so they fit under the guards a bit better with no flares.

went for a run to kinglake with 4 other minis and a moke

Removed the head from the Clubman so I can have the valve guides replaced cause I think they are shot

Cleaned up my set off hinges and hung the new doors I have got to make sure everything is aligned properly. Still new bushed in hinges to replace later.
