8v Report

Very little done today. Managed to top coat the calipers and seam seal the N/S gusset repair section – tie coat primer goes on both side tomorrow. One of the orders I am waiting for contains the proper plugs for the gussets as I am missing some and don’t have enough to put it all back together. Once that arrives, I’ll get the gravitex stone chip protection on.

Also headed up to Halfords and picked up some dot5.1 fluid for the brakes and also some coolant for the rad. I am not 100% sure the leak is from the heater matrix – there is no strong smell of antifreeze. It could be the water has come through the bulkhead scuttle where the heater motor is located. Still now have the jubilee clips and gubbins needed to swap the matrix if necessary. was going to buy a head unit but they had sold out of the one I wanted 15 minutes before I arrived
