It's not obvious they are upside down until the driveshafts are fitted and then they rub on the anti roll bar links , just remember the brackets for the anti roll bar point downwards :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted December 22, 2015 Will do , thanks for the info Darren . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted December 27, 2015 Carried out most of the finishing touches to the engine bay today, fitted new H.T leads, washer bottle with new washer tubing, re-fitted bonnet and gave car a bit of a clean. Then a very short test drive. Everything seems fine 8) So after all this work there had to be something left ! and this is it, any ideas anyone ??:) thanks for reading :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted December 27, 2015 You've got me thinking now . If it wasn't dark I would be searching around the bay now . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted December 27, 2015 You've got me thinking now . If it wasn't dark I would be searching around the bay now . It's very similar to the radiator top brackets, but not quite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted December 27, 2015 It looks like the bracket for an after market air filter ,or the isv holder . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted December 27, 2015 It looks like the bracket for an after market air filter ,or the isv holder . It's not after market (don't think) and I am pretty sure it's body related rather than something that bolts to the engine, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harrier 1 Posted March 28, 2016 Well I haven't updated this for a while as I haven't done a lot since before xmas, though I did fit my Karmanski roof trims ,happy with them, found the location of that elusive bracket (rad cowling) I popped the car over to the body shop last week for a little bit of a machine polish here and there just to get it back to its best and managed a bit of waxing and fine fettling this weekend . Taxing it from the 1st April and looking forward to getting out and about. Entered in the concourse competition at Stanford Hall on 1st May, can't wait for that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harrier 1 Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) So with Stanford Hall less than 2 weeks away I wanted to have a go at my underside floor pan as it's pretty much the only thing that hasn't been touched. Not a job I have been looking forward to but I can recommend one of these steam machines. Still hard work but a smallish patch at a time, wire brush WD40 and lots of rags and it's worth the effort, I think !! New brake pipe clips coming tomorrow :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited April 19, 2016 by Harrier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
