Hopefully weight of engine and gearbox will bring front end down

Shocks fitted I was using wrong set[bigwhistle]
however brake hoses still seem to short even with the weight of motor, thinking I will fabricate some new bolt on brackets for the top fixing.

Finally got the silver thing bolted behind the blue thing
Attachment 152639 Attachment 152640
Bit of a production line happening
Attachment 152641
A few bits to be bolted to both engines then I can start rust removal on bulkheads
Cheers Paul
Humm,, very blue,, very silver 👍
My nicely painted clutch actuator lever from the slave cylinder was at completely at wrong angle to work correctly PO had mounted slave cylinder under the bell housing bracket to compensate. I had another modified lever from another gearbox which fitted up great
Attachment 152697 Attachment 152698 uncut actuator sitting on the gearbox
Why do rods need extending or actuators changed, my 2a 88 is almost out of adjustment on slave cylinder rod also.
Also got hand brake connected up and adjusted
Attachment 152699 need to find a better return spring somewhere....it seems to foul on push rod going into the hand brake and I cant see a way of avoiding this [bigsad]
Cheers Paul
Most likely reason to need more movement is either worn holes/pins in the coupling to the gearbox clutch release shaft or trying to use a Series 3 pressure plate with no spacer.
Thanks for your imput John, the pressure plate is a 9" three finger type and brand new
the joiner tube also has no slop in it with pins fitting snugly.
If clutch works OK when pedal and master cylinder are fitted up I will consider cranking the actuator arm on my other vehicle, seems a better option than extending push rod
Looking at parts manual maybe someone has had withdrawal mechanism apart and cross shaft is a few splines out, l didn't touch it because it seemed alright.
Cheers Paul
Got the manifolds on today, turns out my 3.3 has a 9 port head and not a 12 port head don't know if this is correct or not but it is what it is
Attachment 152930
Started on my best bulkhead
Attachment 152931
Cheers Paul
Bulkhead rust free..... need to clean up and paint after I've sorted another bulkhead for my Storm build
