Well that box has certainly travelled a very long way to reach you.
Good luck putting it all together.
Cheers, Paul.

This should take care of the fuel oversupply. A fuel pressure regulator:

Proper oil for the SUs now. And a fuel pump spacer, the last pieces in the engine puzzle...

Proper oil - what is that? I thought "3 in 1" so what have you used? But sounds like the final pieces, so are you near to the end now?

Hi Marc I should, I suppose, have been more specific... Last pieces of the engine puzzle meaning after this I can tune it properly. I'm still a way off receiving the body and finishing the actual car!
Proper oil for the SUs is straight 20. I chucked the same motor oil in them (30w50) as I'd used in the engine and it was not happy!
I'll let you know how it all goes when I put it in on the weekend. I'll post a vid on friendface as I dunno how to do that here.
Catch you all later

Tim , if you go to www.vesselfinder.com or one of the similar websites , you can track a container ships movements , if you know the vessels name , which should be on your shipping paperwork.
It won't get you the bodyshell any quicker or add anything to your project but it is quite interesting to follow.
I have imported a couple of vehicles from the states in the past and its interesting to see boats being diverted to Europe on route etc.

Thanks El p, I've just yesterday received confirmation the crate has been collected and have a Sydney eta of 29/6/15. I've got the ship name and using liveshiptrack to see it. It's not yet docked in England but very cool!

29th of June... So that gives you loads of time to strip the donor, refurbish it, change your mind, re-do things and then buy tons of bits you don't 'really' need from e-bay

Ha ha ha I hear you brother! I tried fitting the fuel pump spacer I bought at great expense but the studs holding the pump on are too short to fit it! If I needed I could extract those and replace them but I'll see how the regulator goes.

Update on the "proper oil" for the carb dashpots; perfect! Now revs happily and very quickly too, up and down. If you're using motor oil in the SUs get some proper oil! (Don't think the zenith or solex need oil)

Got mine from rimmers, Marc, about 5 pounds. But it's 20 grade oil. I was able to find straight 15 at motor bike shop but got the 20 from rimmers. It truly transformed the throttle response

The parts are safely in the hands of the shippers! I expect arrival slightly after 9 months from ordering. Seems I'm in the 3rd trimester

Great to hear your big box is finally on its way.

Quite by chance, after the first parts of my Sammio kit arrived, I had to wait 9 months for the last parts to arrive.
At least your kit has to travel half way around the world, not just from Poole to London!
Good luck, Paul.
