Quality, honest. The truck's engine rebuild with the March pulley conversion kit means I need somewhere to mount the power steering reservoir in place as it's not standard. There is by luck a free screw thread in the intake manifold in roughly the right place, so I have crafted this beauty:

I'll see if it fits tomorrow!!

May I be the first to say what a work of art that is

Will be even better when it is painted the same colour

Andy.

After some further modification, it's on!

Also finished the wiring and fitted the new battery. Just need to put some HT leads on it, and reconnect the computer and TPS and MAP sensors, and fire it up. We tried turning it over, put the new starter motor didn't seem to connect to the flex plate. We'll have another look at it next time we go down to the yard, because I'm not leaving next time I go there until it's running!!
