Got a few bits bolted on over the last few days.
Added a sheet of silent coat to the engine bay roof to add a bit of sound dampening:
reinstated the original insulation and riveted the panels back in place:
The original horsehair padding on the fuel tank straps and under the tank were pretty much non-existent so I’ve replaced them with 2mm neoprene sheeting and tape. You can also just about see where I’ve drenched the area above the wheel tubs with dynax S50:
Fuel tank back in with fresh hoses connecting up all the breather pipes, a new fill neck and the fuel tank sender all wired up:
I found a pic of this area when I stripped the van down 3 years ago looking slightly worn and tired!
I opted to spray some Dynax UC in the fuel tank area to offer some protection whilst keeping it looking pretty clean (I’ll be using this on the wheel arches too):
Added some more 2mm neoprene tape around the firewall:
And all bolted in!
The chickens are back seeking out the warmth of my spotlamps again too!
