Good idea, Mark. Here's how it looks--probably OK. Funny how in sync our builds are. I'm just finishing up a video on this. I now not only have car-envy, but gap envy as well. your car is super straight. As you know by now, those brackets have a little play in them so you can line things up. Check the gap against the hood in the down position as well. Also put the brow in and make sure there's enough clearance before tightening the brackets. Good idea on checking the gaps with the eyebrows. But the real test will be on the right side where I replaced the headlight bucket and front half of the inner fender. Once I get the missing pivot I can install the headlight carrier and check. I have spares. PM me your address. Thanks very much, Ian, but I have one on the way. If its not right, will take you up on your offer. |

Got the proper screws for the turn signals, so both lenses are mounted.

And with a replacement pivot bracket, I installed the right side headlight carrier.

Back on the left side, I finished the rest of the system, starting with the relay socket, rubber boot, and motor harness connector.

Then the motor itself, along with the metal surround for the pivot lever arm. Yes, the motor needs a new manual knob.

Next, I installed the push rod (with new bushings) onto the stud on the headlight carrier, and the lever arm, and then snuck the lever arm onto the motor-gear box output. I know I will need to reset the arm once I can power up the motors.

I got some M6 carriage head bolts, so I could install the fuel pump and bracket. Looks like just enough room to get a screw driver on the bracket clamp from below through the new 1/2 inch hole.

I need more fuel line before I can plump the pump, so I decided to work on the front disks and wheel bearings. I pressed in the outer bearing race.

Helps to have a set of press drivers.

Even then, I needed to use an old race for the inner side.

That results in double races in the new hub.

But with the exposed edge, the extra race is easy to knock out.

And the new seal, using the press to seat them evenly.

Disk and hub, outer bearing, thrust washer, and clamp installed. First adjustment of the bearings brings back memories.

Caps installed about half-way. I expect some additional bearing adjustment once the car gets on its wheels and rolls around a bit.
