The new oil pump finally arrived so got a little bit done today. Fitted the flywheel cover and oil pan (after installing the pump :lol: ) and cleaned the header and mounted it along with the starter.

Which leaves installing the clutch and all those bits, so I can mount that cover and then figure out where to mount the oil cooler.

At least you have the new oil pump now Mike :thumbup:

It looks great with it all being so spotlessly clean 8)

Shiny!
Looks like you're on the home stretch now.
It's going to be like having a new bike after all the work is done. A new bike that fits like an old glove :D

Doing quite well, thanks. Hand is recovering quicker than expected and is at around 90% now.

Well it has been a little while so time for an update..... Decided to run a Mocal 7 row oil cooler so got it fitted and then built some braided SS lines for it.
