Today I got the selector fitted not as bad as it looks position wise but need to drive it and see if it needs extending!

Also got prop done today,most outlay upto date-£120!! but it's all balanced,new C/bearing and I know it won't split in half! :wink:
Image
The gear linkage is a right pain,done around 4 prototypes and I still think I've got to use a cable,Ho hum!
Now don't laugh but I need a oil cooler for the box and after chatting to Rover I need a huge one!(especially in Spain!) so I thought of using a Condenser!-loads more fliud capacity,made for higher pressure than the auto will push out and can be mounted in front of the rad with the fan on that,any thoughts? :wink:
Ah!-almost forgot,a little tip, got the p/steering pipe fitted today,you can use the Scorpio one with a bit of tweaking! :mrgreen:

Right then I won the condenser so that's sorted! :D
Managed to fit P/steering resevoir and pipework today also re-wired the fuel pump so it cuts off! Think the selector is sussed but need to have a cable made by the people above,keeping the Scorp' one as I like it!! :mrgreen:
Still waiting for the Rad to come so I can start plumbing! :roll:
