Hi Bob, I do have a copy of that manual but as I said to my knowledge there is no record of the exact location and size. I know they are under the floor and they are rectangle, so I did the next best thing. No where near the floor and a totally different size.
Colin.

Please excuse the mess, I fitted the alternator, cooling system and exhaust. All fitting well but I still need to remove the engine once more for painting the engine bay and engine parts before putting back for the final time. I managed to find some time this week to work on it and I think (decided) to make thursday and friday M.C. days as well.. friday just might be the day bring it to life

Default insulation

Hi Lynn, here in Adelaide we get such a variation in temperature, from below zero in winter to low 40's in summer. When you get a day of 44 deg it is so hat you cant work in the shed without insulation. The foil you see has a layer of rockwool 50mm thick behind. It makes a massive difference for comfort. Also good for reflecting light. I'm also getting softer in my older age.

Default Its alive!

It is finally driving and extremely fast and responsive. I am really happy I chose the windsor engine and auto trans. Just some cosmetics and cammo paint and its all done and on to the next project.
