Just a suggestion re; the Front Subframe " Brake Pipe fitting with the Brake Switch "..i set that fitting a bit more rearward as with the engine installed it all gets a bit tight if you need to get to the brake pipe union on the pipe that comes from the bulkhead

Thanks will look at that.

Still working on her..took me ages to sort the driveshafts and hubs, due to a bur on the inner joint, then needed to clean up the driveshaft threads. Screens in.
The electrics seem to be giving me an issue, I know there are only a few wires, but one min the indicators work, then they don't. I'm swapping the fuse box out this weekend. Wondering if I should have got a new loom!

I put a new loom in my car when I rebuilt it and found it to be one the most satisfying jobs on the car. I also had trouble with the indicators which turned out to be a faulty flasher can. Once that was changed, they've been completely reliable ever since. It is worth going over the circuits though to rule out bad earths and/or excessively corroded bullet terminals. A multimeter will be helpful for measuring the point to point resistance across the circuit.

I have a multi-meter which I use quite often, which gives me varying results.
I am wondering if I bite the bullet and buy a new loom from AutoSparks.
