What a sunday!
WOW! what a day loads done on the B. Went over to Chris's today to fit the Aldon dizzy and sort out the Weber carb. All done with a bit of a phaf about the optical cutter on the new 43D dizzy but fortunatley Ian saved the day with his spares. So refitted that then started to service the weber with the required gaskets and o rings the at it badly needed.
Whilst Chris and I were attacking the carb Ian was merrily drilling out my ignition barrel and removing it from the steering column. Also we had made up a loom for the new starter switch that has now been installed in the dashboard. This was really essential as wheni was strapped in I couldnt reach the ignition key and thats not good!
So have done all that Chris also made up the wiring for the midgets new front indicators. So they are ready to go into the wings no. FAB! all coming together for the start of the season.
Now all I need to do is get the B rolling road tuned and thats it!! Yippee.

More Midget work.
Well fitted the pipes for the oil cooler now and the base adpator plate. Quite straight forward really. Also bought some indicator that were used on a Healey to use.
Raised a list of jobs that need to be completed before end of Feb and its quite long but not impossible, just bitty little things to sort out like number plates, indicators, new grill, towing eyes that sort of thing.
Well had my sister down from Edinburgh and found out that the MOT on her Landy ran out on the 18th December! Not impressed! So managed to get it into a local garage for a quick MOT to find out what it would fail on and was pleasantly surprised that it was relativley OK. It did fail on a couple of points the front outriggers (hold the body onto the chassis) were in need of some welding and the rear fog lamp was failing. So i called the troops Chris Cooper and Ian Tapner and we met up at Chris's workshop. After fourr fabricated plates for the outriggers and chassis Chris had done a fantastic job and the chassis looked really good. So onto the lamp. It turned out to be both the lamp at the back and the fuse holder inside the cab! So a quick change of the internals of the lamp and a clean up of the fuse holder and were done! Thanks chaps.
Next morning back to the MOT station for a retest and all was find and got a ticket. Then frog marched my sister down to the Post Office to get a new tax disc and send her on her way to Edinburgh!
