I think it is not wise to lead fuel lines over a long distance over a (hot) engine.
This will make it vunarable to "vapour lock"  so when the engine gets warm, it will make the fuel evaporate in the line, causing shut down the engine.
Keep fuel lines away from the engine, if possible.
Making them of copper is asking for problems even more.

Hi Gary, I need pictures of your engine when everything was hooked up. Don’t unpack and stay out of the cold. That quadrant is in the picture but it’s black and hard to see. Thanks for your offer it’s much appreciated. I’m glad I’m doing all this with the body off and engine accessible.
 
  Bert, I will keep it away from block and wrap it. I’m using the attach points that are there all ready but will use stand-off so not to chafe. The copper line is only for a bending template. Copper will not be used.

The plumbing type shut-off valve is because those heater valves are infamous for not shutting completely off.  Lots of glass area so it takes very little hot water sneaking through to make the cabin very uncomfortable.

Yes they are but, for some reason, I've never had a problem closing the valve completely. So there's hope. It helps to adjust the clamp on the cable end so the valve is in the fully closed position with its control slide fully closed in the console. My controls slide has a resistance point about a quarter inch before it goes fully rearward.  In mid summer my heater core feels the same temperature as everything else inside.

I have a few more odds and ends to identify . Pic 1  anybody?

   I said WTH  and tried to install the doors, but after an hour,,by myself hung a door. I need a backflip emoji here.🧜🏻And for a guy with a disability, started on the other side . True some small adjustments will have to be made. The R&D stainless worked flawlessly. 👍👍 I even removed the pin and slightly adjusted.

I’m super impressed you installed a door by yourself! More than impressed as I think back on the two days it took me to install both doors with another person helping. Your the man Dakazman 

[dakazman]

Oh I forgot to post the most important pic that you taught me...
Safety straps.😁

Wish someone had taught me that......but I’m glad you learned from my mistake.

I'm pretty sure the top part is a spring 

[BDA]

I think Silver is right. I think that top part is indeed a spring! 

[dakazman]

Okay 
That is the return spring.
 I also managed to install a new hi torque starter from R&D. I need to run to the store and buy some parts but I’m doing the social distancing precautions.
 A new rear inner bearing stopped about a 1/4” short on shaft. So I may push it on the rest of the way with the nut and a pipe extension. I know JB cautioned against this but I have almost no alternatives.
 Hanging a empty shell of a door is probably why it went so easy. I’ll explain the details later. An extension on the hinge pin helped set, remove and twist pin in place. Next I’ll be installing all the door items while on my workbench.

Too many loose threads so I’m not sure what you are referring to with regard to “rear inner bearing”.  Rear wheel bearings?  You can pull or push them into place.  Just don’t hit them.  The inner bearing abuts against the inner spacer which is against the outer bearing.

[dakazman]

   Yes I’ll clean up that statement tomorrow , but it pertains to the inner hub carrier 31mm bearing .
I froze the haft shaft and heated the bearing it went almost down to the stop . I did not hammer on it .
I may have to remove the universal and press it in place which I should have done from the start.

You should be able to tap it home using a suitable diameter of pipe, or carefully with a punch, against the inner race.

The bolts are the lower gearbox to engine ones.
The thing with the hole in the middle goes onto the clutch or handbrake cable.
The pins could be the ones for securing the handbrake cable to the small arms in the drum.
The other parts do not look familiar to me, so they are probably S2 specific or gearbox related.
The bracket maybe the attachment for the clutch cable?

[dakazman]

   Thanks Rainer, I’m going thru the parts manual to pin point the ones to identified.

  JB, I had my doubts that I could get the bearing to move but after sitting for a few days frustrating me I picked up a brass rod and gently tapped the inner race , 😃 it moved slowly down to a sound stop
I will have a 4 wheeler tomorrow. A true roller after I set the axle shaft shims and the strut spacers.
Add the e-brakes and pressurize lines . Then set valves. Etc etc...😁 and... rejoin the body to frame.
