Long time no update, i never felt like there was a big step done in the last months.
But one my last time of vacation i finally found time to check the progress and found out two things.
I have done a lot in the last months and i take way to less photos of the process.
First, thanks JB, i checked a spare Belt i have laying around. The belts do have at least a rubberized ball for rollover protection but the ratchet mechanism definitely could be a source of problems, never thought about this.
I found out why there was a dent in my rights headlight bowl, the radiator is in the way. So i had to put the dent back in after perfectly hammered out the dent a year ago.
The front compartment was completed, the master cylinder is a spitfire dual circuit.
I used ATE 03.3390-0055.1 to connect the fluid reservoir, pressure bleed the system and there is no leakage.
The Gates 3323 hose was used to connect the radiator to the cooling pipes.
Vinyl on dashboard and headliner had been done.
Suspension, Gearbox and my spare engine block is in.
The car sits too high at the front, i had installed new type46 front springs from SJS, so its probably the koni shocks which cause the problem.
So i decided to order an complete set of protech shocks, these are beautiful can't wait to install them.
Build new front and rear grill from stainless.
Windshield was polished.
Getting the windshied in was a real pain. I used Phoenix trim IRS 1724, the rubber itself is good quality and looks very good when installed but it is very stiff and always curled up again.
I printed angled templates to cut the corners and glue the rubber together, which worked pretty good.
Until i was happy with the windshield fit it took 10 tries and 3 days, the windshield always sat to tight and i had to remove it altogether to trim the frame in several spots.
The new dashboard panels are in place and i fitted a mini electronic adjustable voltage regulator in the housing of the original one.
Thanks to the ones who uploaded pictures of their sunvisors i was able to build a frame for my missing one.
Most of the carpets are installed and i build a new glovebox.
The crank and flywheel came back from balancing, i balanced the rods myself and installed them along with new liners and wössner high compression pistons.
Along this i created several 3D printable parts, mainly gaskets. Most of them are now available here:
