Well my BN1 is booked to go back into Jetstream to have the outer body assembled and painted, but before that I've been going over the running chassis with a fine tooth comb to get details and leaks sorted..

I made a part number stamp for the rad hoses to finish off their final appearance...

In addition to the rad hoses, I found some better looking oil and fuel flex hoses...
I also finally installed the throttle position switch lever which required making some fine wire cotter pins to install the rod...

I prepared the Burgess Wet type air filters by soaking the clean filters in engine oil and allowing to drain overnight...

In anticipation of driving her up the road (which never happened) - I temporarily fir the tunnel sections to cover the gearbox and driveshaft... Wow does she ever look good!!

With a pinhole leak discovered in the rad, I've removed the rad to have it re-soldered and sealed properly.
It's an annoying discovery because I'd already sent it in to be sealed and tested before all this,  but at least I've now found the leak and know where to repair it...

Until next time -

Geoff, your car looks amazing and i have seen it up close. Great to hear you are on the list to go back to Jet Stream now.
Thanks for doing a magnificent upholstery job on by BN2. I have received so many complements already.
Keep up the good work.
