Engine Rebuild

19th November
Its been almost a month since my last post.  Things have moved on quite a lot.

Started re-building the engine.  Replaced the pushrod tubes, new tinware, and a lot of cleaning.

 

 

The engine came with a DRLA 36D carb.  The engine is a 1776cc, it runs great but doesn't idle well.  I think we will have to strip it down and check everything is good, but not yet.  We really wanted to get it set up and run it for a while to make sure we had a good engine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heres the front end all done.  The lowest point is 100mm (4") off the floor, this is the maximum height available as well.  This was achieved with dropped spindles, beam adjusters and Bugpack lowered shocks.

 

 

 

Disc brakes fitted to the rear, replaced the gearbox seals, heat exchangers cleaned and painted in high temp paint.

 The completed running gear.  Next jobs fit pedals, make and fit new brake lines then onto the body.
