Day 22- Handbrake, Breather Hose Bracket, and Engine Earth.

Handbrake

To get the eye of the handbrake cable onto the hook on the top of the calliper, as much slack as possible has to be taken out of the adjuster in order to have enough length to get the eye onto the hook. 

Handbrake cable connected.

Oil Breather Hose Bracket

We felt that the oil breather hose running from the top of the engine and the top of the sump tank felt unsupported, so, to remedy this, we made a bracket out of an old aluminium sheet in the garage.

Using the reciprocating saw to cut the strip needed for the bracket. This has been used a worrying amount during this build, an invaluable piece of kit.

Bent and in position. After we will clean it up and add some self amalgamating tape around the sides to reduce chafing. 

Engine Earth

While dad was making the bracket I was having a tidy and attaching the earth strap to the engine. One of the Bellhousing bolts is removed then passed through the larger eye of the black battery lead, then re torqued.

Negative battery lead in place.
