A bit of a blur…
Don’t know where the Summer has gone, but here are some belated photos from August.
Might have forgotten what car I went to Sainsbury’s in and got too much shopping!
Another day, another car park.
My wife’s brother came to visit and because he is over 6’ 3” I gave him some safety googles.
(As the Brooklands screen is too low for him.)
There was some very minor tinkering.
Swapping the fuel filter was straight forward, apart from petrol pouring out everywhere.
However, when I restarted the car, petrol started to pour out of the collector before the carbs!
So, the dodgy hose was removed, the pipe cleaned up, jubilee clip repositioned & retightened.
Thankfully, there was no more petrol leaks after that and it was a good spot given the long journey to come.
A quick shakedown run managed to just catch the sun setting.
I also finally got around to modifying the handbrake lock I bought years ago.
The problem was that the end of the handbrake lever was too thick.
Thankfully, I resisted the temptation to take a hacksaw to the lever.
Instead, first I removed the rubber end surround, but that wasn’t enough.
So, it as time to mark up, cut and bend…
After filing down the sharp edges I had a good fit.
At some point I will weld some metal back into the ‘gap’, but that will do for now.
As it was now time to pack the car on the street ready for the Goodwood Revival.
