Start of July 2021 now.<\/p>\n

Removed the lower trim panels on the dash, only 3 out of 4 or 5 holes had screws, all 3 completely different of course!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyways, enough talk, more action. Time to get her back on the ramp and crack on with the body split checklist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New toys from Amazon in the form of imperial impact sockets, 9mm hex for the rollcage (still haven’t used this right enough) and AF brake fitting spanner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now the jacking points on the Elan are at the ends of the sills. I have no reason to doubt their integrity on this car but they are a bit known for the metal lattice inside corroding. So, since I can make it work getting the pads on the backbone of the chassis, I decided that was preferable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exhaust clamp was the lowest part under the car, not guilty on this destruction, was like that when I got there!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Think I have identified why the fitting on the fuel tank was seeping…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rear carb needs the studs removed as they foul on the footwell structure when lifting the body. The checklist said rearmost 2 but I decided to remove all 4 to be safe as the front ones were also going clash, suspect the list was authored for Weber\/Dellorto equipped cars which has a different manifold casting on the head.<\/p>\n

At the time this picture was taken, some divot had just dropped a nut down an intake runner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This brings us up to 9th July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
