MIne just has one of those white clips over it

Cheers guys, helps massively....sounds about right looking at the bolts and how they are secured

Cheers all, I have seen some threads saying 60Nm, but tbh the yellow one is holding up the rad support, and the blue is tiny and just appears to bolt into a captive not onthe rad support, again not doing much

OK welding will have to wait, to cheer mself up and after much messing arround engine finally in, happy as I have space in my garage and can chuck in loads more bits as well. Also started wrapping the loom and swapping out bolts and clips for stainless items.

Cant find torque settings in Bentley, I know I had it written somewhere just can find where....seem to find conflicting settings when I search, does anyone know what the correct torque settings is for bolts pictured in yellow and blue? 25Nm?

🙂 Coming along nicely

Once sorted just going to paint, there is already sound deadening inside, so might just add another layer internally

Yep the bitumen looked slightly different. the rest peeled off easily enough as well, guess after 25 years its given a good service

** Rust Warning ** Was on the verge of putting the engine back in, thought I would clean the scuttle area.... gutted to find rust lurking in the scuttle area under the bitumen sound deadening.... looks like it’s a dash out repair 😞. Was very P'd off yesterday, however new day and all that...will give me a chance to tidy wiring and replace the heater matrix I would recommend all owners check the condition of their cars scuttle area, or check fro under the dash area. The damage appears to be localised to low points/contours where water appears to have collected/become trapped and reacted over time.

Awesome thanks mate, guess it must have just fell off

Cheers mate appreciated

Morning all, does anyone have a pic where/how this is suppose to be mounted? It’s a little coil thingy by the side of the ABS pump. Cheers

Bodywork looks spot on mate 😎

Other bits added, VT mounts all round, polybushes all round, new drop links, ball joints, various bits powder coated, new brake shields all round etc, eibach arbs, stainless tank straps. Also have new driveshafts to fit, brake lines (courtesy of Alex), and brakes TT 312mm up front and R32 vented on the rear along with stainless braided hoses. The brakes wont be done for some time...I will do a right up on the rear as also planning on changing the taper bearings to normal bearings. Also have a eibach front brace, which I wont fit...too much bling

Few more pics.....suddenly these past few weeks have alot more time on my hands 😞 Next job...have a bash with rubbing compund in the bay and polish, then tidy up the messy wiring

Managed to collect quite a few nice bits over the years, which I might get to use now 🙂 Damn thats big money considering how depressed the market is...saw a nice SP inlet complete with all gubbins on FB for £700..bargain Cheers...its shocking how forgetfull I have gotten , not to mention paranoid lol

Been a while....i decided to stick with the VR...few updates below 🙂 This wont be a show car by anystrech, just a well sorted solid car

Seem to have misplaced mine during the rebuild :( Please shout if you have a spare, must be damage and rust free

Recognise it now, saw the build on facebook

Was this not up for 40k at one point? Price guess it depends on the resto carried out e.g. full nut and bolt rebuild, bodywork all sorted etc.

I repaired my old loom....then got lucky with an excellent condition engine loom of ebay for £25...they do come up if your patient

Same setup as yours dude...Vorecth stage 2

CR dropped for FI, Schrick cams fitted :) Unable to attach pics :(

Put me down for a set please

Thats the exact one I have very good crane, made easy work of removing me engine and box a few weeks back....I would highly recommnd using the load leveller as well https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cll500-load-leveller/ FYI Keep an eye on ebay they come up quite regular...got mine for £50 only used once
