Going Back Together

Re fitted the exhaust and installed manifold pipes from the left to right, the bolts have limited room so mostly completed by fingertips and a 13mm ring spanner. Not a job that I want to repeat that often.

Re assembled the front end and push rods. Fired the engine and let it tick over and warm up for a while, the body tub has not cracked so it would seem that the different thicker tub and the heat resistant foil is making a difference. Tub still gets very hot but does not crack or distort.
