Sensor Bracket DONE!

Finished off the megajolt sensor bracket. :-)

More Painting and Megajolting

All painted up and timing wheel sorted. Just need to bolt it back together now.

More Megajolt Progress

Finally got round to getting the local machine shop to enlarge the hole in the trigger wheel last week. Now it fits over the front pulley. Once I am happy I have got the position correct I will put a couple of welds to hold it in place. Having said that they machine shop have made it so tight you need a hammer to move it round! :-)

Today I have also made up the bracket to hold the sensor. I was quite pleased with how it turned out. It bolts on with the timing chain cover and positions the sensor inside the fan belt. This means you don't need to remove the sensor every time you want to change the fan belt.
Getting closer........

Front Suspension...

The front suspension is now completely stripped. New bits are ordered and the painting has started.

AVO bushes

Having stripped the front suspension to replace the worn drivers side wishbone I have noticed that the 6 month old AVO shocks have managed to wear their bushes!!!!! I can't say I am best pleased :-(

Lower wishbone issues

Got round to stripping the front suspension today. I was aware the trunnion bolt was gradually eating through the lower wishbone.

Upon investigation the bolt was not so gradually eating through the lower wishbone. :-(

4p performance boost

Today I got round to removing the waxstat pellets, the reason being that on the trip to Italy the car ran really rough in traffic in the heat. Looking through the internet everything seems to point to the waxstat pellets. The idea is that as the car heats up the mixture is leaned out, or something like that. It was introduced by SU to try to reduce emissions. Anyway this must be the most satisfying job in the world ever!

Time: 1 hour
Cost: 4p

Now any job with those stats has to be good.
