Not a very exciting update but I have finally got the motor running again. So this weekend consisted of all the little things like fill the gearbox with oil, replace the reverse light switch, connect the speedo cable, put a fire sleeve over the clutch cable, bleed the brakes, fit a thermo fan switch, connect the exhaust, change the diff fluid (that I assume had not been changed in 38 years) and after all that take her for a drive without a bonnet. After not driving it for so long and then going through a country back road and being able to stop on a dime with the new brakes I am more motivated than ever to get it back on the road for summer. Now to get the chin on and racks on and it might be finished. But here is a picture because what’s an update without a picture.
Here is a little info on the thermo fan switch for others that want do have an electric fan without having a switch inside. You will need a 4g63 DOHC RVR (others may work) thermostat top housing and bolts as they are thinner, then I used a fan switch from tridon TFS194 (normally open M16x1.5 single pin), connect the positive of the fan to a wire that is switched from the key, then the negative wire from the fan to the fan switch (you can get the proper plug off a 4E-FE but not the switch as they are normally closed) and you are done the only thing is that it will run 5° hotter as the tridon one is 90°-85° and the factory RVR one is 85°-80° but the RVR fan switch is 2 pin and the tridon is single so when it heats up it earths out the fan. But if you are using the standard air filter it will hit on the bottom so what I have done is use a bit of exhaust pipe and a frost plug and weld in a cavity for the switch and plug the sit in to and just find a smaller filter to fit inside, sorry no pics of that.
