that's a 'blast from the past' .... not heard that in a very long timeLooking forward to see where the engine ends up. Will it be a Gold Seal job?
Been having a quick eyeball as and when I get 5 minutes here and there, trying to work out WTF did what .... control panel umbilicals have had the the snip and there will be a lot superfluous too .......Looking forward to see where the engine ends up. Will it be a Gold Seal job?
thanks Mog .... I'd call it more getting minging .. wanted to break it down to manageable bits and bin what's gonna be taking up space ....Looks like your having fun Will have a look on Monday for your missing bit
hollow ways the lanes like that are called around here, used to do them on bikes and four wheel drives, got to many anti's now some have been downgraded to bridleways.second coat of varnish on't trailer body .... after the dog walking session this morning ... been round some green lanes that I didn't know existed and I know most of 'em round here, from blatting around 'em on M/siccles in me late teens.

got this on the bench afterwards, having spent a great deal of time trying to suss WTF goes/went where /did what .. have a pretty fair take on it all now and wanted this 'out the way' ....View attachment 27967 it's now a collection of much more manageable bits, some useful, others might be cuminfas .... but a lot more handle-able than it was in one lump

would not want to have spent on the original build for this ... some real 'spensive bits an' bobs in this lot (including a nice Cetop valve bank that'd build a.n.other VA-r) and some seriously pricey looking H.P. filtration cans View attachment 27970
a bunch of fittings and a few pipes for the 'random spare' hose collection .... oh and a nice little 24v pump unit View attachment 27972
think Tony the scrappy'll be getting the chassis
some further examination of the umbilical after tea, revealed a nice set of individual numbers on all the white wires so a re-connection looks to be a simple(r) affair than it first appeared ...... to a degree ..... ... there're a few panel connections that're gonna take some fathoming as to WTF they're there .
finish a clear/clean up in the morning, hoik the tank out of the trailer, make sure it's devoid of any surplus liquid gold and cap off it's ports. Then I can get the Deutz on the bench for fathoming.
