You see Nige doesn't know what he missed!
I think there should be a special certificate or badge you get for having done that job!

I have managed to adjust mine to give full carb linkage movement and still use the stop :)

Yeah, i remember you saying that. Was very close to pulling the 2A apart for its linkage!

my knuckles are hardening with scar tissue now after having had a busy couple of months of 101 work! I dont feel it so much anymore ;)
My knees on the other hand (foot?) are starting to hurt as there is too much climbing in and out and under the 101 to get owt done.
Hows the engine transplant going?
Its been in since last thursday now!, but i've been held up by the brakes which were also buggered. (so i stopped and built my shed in the meantime!) Its now got a new (old) saab brake servo to replace the one that was full of juice and hissed a lot. shiney Series 3 master cylinder with a nice adaptor to make the pipes fit made by steve and a aluminium brake reservoir which will be the envy of every other 101 owner with a moldy plastic one! (thanks to steve!). I've also vacuum bled stuff and it feels like i might have some pedals!
As of when I came in tonight the engine was missing the exhaust manifolds, LPG pipework, dissy, starter and some coolant. I really am hoping to get it started tommorrow.. Then i need to refit the new seats properly.
Its been there so long that its starting to sink on the axle stands and ive actually worn a path round it! (the gravel is down to the liner!)
