It is just a holding bracket. It takes no force. What could possibly go wrong?

Personally I would put another rivet in the corner to stop the bracket turning on the centre rivet but otherwise it's fine, it takes no force and have done the same on many race cars and never had an issue.

Fair point Viatron. I was thinking the solder would stop the spinning but I I have the hub off or access to it with a drill I will pop another rivit in.

Right - this weekend should be expensive. I found some cash down the back of the sofa to allow me to progress (or at least order the bits). The list so far:

Deposit to Gary for the body
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
Fuel SenderFuel Pipe
Brake Masters
Brake Servo
Brake Pistons
Rear Brake (1 side only)
Rear Brake shoes
Clutch Master
Brake Pipe clips
Brake Flexis
Brake Fluid
Wiring Loom
Battery
Electronic ingnition thingy ( The dizzy on the Essex is known not to be great)
Gear and Rear Diff Oil

That should get me enough to keep going. Hopefully at the end of it I will have a running engine and working brakes.

..what are you going to be doing after breakfast then?

...ah the pain.

...If you do happen to bump into Gary please say 'hello' from me...

We that is the deposit paid on the body. Just got to get the rest of the car ready to receive it.

The flag blue Sammio looked cracking and it was good to see how much the other G46 had moved on. helped me work out what I need to do

Yes, the more G46's around the better as they will all be a little bit different and may generate ideas and also benefit others and help avoid a few pitfalls or expensive mistakes along the way.

I have decided to go with round wheel arches and twin humps. I have only seen the photos of the Sammio with twin humps which looked good. I think the bigger G46 will look even better.

Suddenly realised how much I have to do to the chassis first. Main bits are brakes, fuel, electrics and find a replacement bit for the suspension. Loads of time given 1 day a week where I can actually work on the car and that normally gets interrupted.

..so you have gone over to the Dark Side and plumped for the accursed 'Round Wheel Arches'

Only one word to sum this up.....









..................................................SPLITTER!!!!!

Are you the judean peoples front, "F*&% OFF" splitters "to join the PFJ you have to really hate the romans"

WCA welcome to the dark side your new handle should be WCA-RWA we were scorned by the flat earth society but the earth did turn out to be round!!

Sorry to highjack the thread, but my favourite line in that iconic film is delivered when all the various factions are fighting each other in the sewer:

Brian, delivered with frustrated angst - "Brothers, we should be struggling together!"

Anon, sounds exerted - " We are struggling together!"

pat wer ya bin

WCA = What, Curved Arches?!?

Charman - Round arches and Twin humps. My niche is more niche that yours is ;-)

Austin Sprites RWA = round wheel arch

I can't wait to see the twin hump G46 I think it going to look the nuts, when do you expect to get the body?

As another 46 builder i thought i'd say hello , also depending what suspension parts you require i have found queensbury road garage very good with parts arriving next day

Wife just rang to say some car stuff has arrived. Don't know what it is yet and won't be back from london before 8. Long afternoon of wondering for me.

good god man get her to open it all and send you pics!!!

Long night of wondering for us too!!!!!

Fuel pump, fuel filter/pressure regulator, brake pipe clips.

Brake flexis have been cancelled and reordered after waiting three weeks and now due in a couple of days.

Wireing loom due towards the end of next week.

Hopefully pick up the brake and clutch masters and the reconned servo on Saturday.

Need to chat to the guy providing these about nicking a bit of the suspension of the SE6 he has parked in the field. If I get that then I can refit the rest of the rear suspension and get the fuel tank fitted.

When the flexies arrive I will finish bending the brake lines now that I have clips to fix them to the chassis.

Need to helicoil one bolt hole in the front of the chassis to refix the anti roll bar.

A few other things in life apparently take priority according to the boss:

Get the fuel solinoid replaced on my pickup.
Repair / Replace the knackered alternator on the pickup.
Fix/replace the brakes on one of my mountain bikes after last weekends big crash.
Fix the punctures on another of the mountain bikes and respoke/rebuild the damaged wheel (another slight crash)
Sort out the rattly brake cover on the Merc
See my god daughter do her swimming competition.
Remove the broken shower, remove the shower cubicle and then replaster and redecorate the bedroom.
Beat the guy I crashed out against in last weeks bike race.
Take the wife to the theatre

This is one of the wonderful things about this stage of a Sammio build... It's kind of like having an extended Xmas with 'presents' arriving at regular intervals
