WilkesyMB6 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Engine looks sweet in the bay already, and its not even finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nearly there. All undersealed now and engine is plumbed in.nearly ready for some fluids. Front suspension going back on tomorow temporarily so can move it about.had to make a couple of brackets up for clutch line. Looks good tho. Still got issue with power steering pump. May cut the line and try using a compression fitting to extend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Power steering has done me over I'm fuming and don't know what to do.I couldn't undo line into rack with open spanner was going to slip.so I cut the line to slide a socket over thinking that would grip better.but still it just rounded the nut off instead of turning.now I am in a real pickle.gonna have to convert it to manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 gonna have to convert it to manualYou might get mole grips on it but is it worth the effort? Leave the EG manual and see how it handles when you move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 its done. Power steering hacked up and pulled out. I saved the clutch reservoir from mb. Sliced and diced the bracket a bit. Now the flow and return from rack end up at the reservoir. Hope it works ok.other than that now really achieved much other than making a mess everywhere with power steering fluid. Horrid stuff and stinks too.Shift linkage in now. Using stock shifter instead of short shift. I think I prefer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
