How nice and clean and empty the bay is now - and rust/rot free too, even around the fusebox/battery tray winkeye - just prime for a good coating of anti-corrosion paint to keep it that way winkeye

I see you bolt cropped the wiring harness! good man, thats what a 320 harness deserves.lol

That picture just shows how big the vacuum tank for the brakes really is, and they still arn't even that good!

Have you designed the engine mounts or are you going to do that once the engine is hoisted in there to give you some idea of what to fabricate?

Hiya Jon - the engine harness for the M20 engine is no good to me, the check indicator in the roof is no good to me neither, as that is being replaced with a SECS monitor winkeye winkeye winkeye

The engine mounts i have an idea for already, as with the gearbox mount and propshaft - will just have to see ;)

the sump for the engine is the problem at the moment - I need to have one made :cry: :cry: :cry:

not to worry tho winkeye
