Default Ford radiator drain cocks

Hi Tony,

They look really good and as you say over-engineered.
You are lucky too- usually the arms have been broken off the cocks. I have three of them as proof!

Cheers

Default Start looming

OK ...

So thanks to Victorians who cant stay at home, the loom I have ordered from Vintage Wiring Harness 6 weeks ago is not going to made till god knows when.

So I thought I'd have a crack - not original wire but new and safe. I have a couple of NOS loom sections so I copied the one from the battery to hook up the ignition system.

Completed that part in a day and bit. Allowing for finding connectors and driving to the shops to buy the stuff you thought you had but didnt.

Default first run

Kind of hypnotic watching those belts as it runs.
Well done mate. Great to see the project progressing.
