    Looks like a better day for it down under...

    I was considering spending some time in the workshop on projects various today, but the howling winds and driving rain leaves the Lego F1 car the Mrs bought me for Christmas as the more tempting option...

    Not wanting to rub it in, but it was 23 out on the Golf Course today where i am on holidays, with a lovely sea breeze blowing across the front 9 we were playing...

    Not sure what it was like in Simons part of the world - nice and warm I would think.

    And the right hand mount plate..... This ones stepped to get around the turbo oil return hose. The two rear most holes were previously unused so needed tapping out. With the three original mount holes and these additional holes and the plate being 12mm I don't think it'll move far. It'll be lift back in first thing tomorrow and start setting up the rubber mounting support plates.

    Well, the engine is back in for the second time now, having made room for the compressor. Its allowed the engine to sit a little more to the left, giving me just enough room for a one piece prop at the front!! Here's compressor to chassis clearance as it sits now.

    Having got the engine back in and sat where I want it it was mount time!!!! Not for long tho as the CFS pager dropped for a Vinyard Fire!! Here's how far I got tho. I've started with the gearbox as its the easiest to get too, and once supported, it means I can lift and lower the engine nose to assist with making and locating the front mounts!

    Glad you had your priorities straight and saved that Vineyard... A world without wine is not worth considering.

    Yeah, we saved it! The bombers did one very well placed drop and then we spent the rest of the avo jumping between vine rows chasing little pockets of fire! SWMBO would have given me heaps had we not as she's a keen drinker too... There'll b a few consumed at Melrose I can see!!!

    I think at the last gathering, Bartagunyah was sucked dry.
