Yes I have the locking nuts, I didn't put them on for mock up photo.

I need this car on the road by end of July to drive it a dick load of k's to the top of Australia! I have bought the Kermit green 2pac paint Had most of the panels sandblasted, including body, for a cleaner finish; it will be the old 602 engine but still with fuel injection and an LN gearbox :) here is an idea for the gearbox mount: I'm adding grease nipples every where and generally doing things I don't really need to be doing...

Ken If You know how it's working, and of course have tools with You, it is possible to repair as well as carb car... How many of You carries extra carb, or parts for it with..? I have travelled five years with EFI Dyane, nothing hasn't broken yet. Photo above is from TurboIE 2cv, and reason for that was some tv-repair-man who didn't proper soldering when he made some mod to ECU... _________________ Make it today, tomorrow it's probably illegal...

Ken TONY ENGLAND wrote: Good luck Bud Yes, I have already tried and tested this, as I am using an original manifold I have an adjustable in-line fuel regulator to drop the pressure from 45psi down to 10psi for a carby. It's a quick swap at the side of the road if required. You have given me an idea Ken, rubber mounting the efi computer, those corrugations get horrific... Thanks for the support guys, i'm going to need it!

I fitted my modified steering arms, 6mm clearance between the nut and the rim. I have fitted nipples to everything that moves... and they work! In one side, out the other. I had to grind a small slit into the retaining nut on the hub to allow grease out. you can just see it in this pic... I got the body and the last of the panels/parts back from the sandblasters, I will grab some pics 2moro!

I spent most of the day hanging the modified hatch, I still have to fab up the rear light panel... And fitting struts. Despite my short timeframe to get Kermt back on the road I find myself doing rather useless fiddly things like shaving the external roof mounts But I don't mind because I am confident it will be ready for the Viking raid at the end of July 15 minute power nap and I think I will try to hang the stricker for the front doors...
