Right. Brake master cylinder arrived today (thanks Roy for the quick delivery). A quick check & clean up, swapped them over, bled the brakes, jobs a good 'un.
Apart from me forgetting to tighten the connection over the back axle.
Can you get an MOT done on a Sunday?

Ballast wires through the gearbox loom connector? And I thought you were working to original spec?

PFJ is just about fiished.
Wipers, bonnet catch, grommets, other two wheels, head re-torqued & a few other bits & pieces done today. I was hoping to drive it outside to take some pics, but it started to rain & hasn't let up since. Maybe tomorrow.

Another stunning resto by Mart and Mary.
The quality of your work and the attention of detail is nothing short of incredible. In a way, I'm almost sad that his one is nearly complete - what's next for the dynamic duo?

Drool, droool, drooool. But isn't that rear silencer (we call them mufflers) hanging a bit low? Or is it that Sprints are, shall we say, "well hung"?

Yes it is a bit low Mike, I mentioned that to Mary yesterday. I'm going to leave it until I've got the mot test then have a look at it at the weekend.
So this afternoon I fitted one of these:-
A leccy ignition module. Ever so easy to fit & you can't tell outwardly that you have one fitted (for those who want originality).
No big box to mount anywhere, all the electrical wizardry takes place in the little silver module in the dizzy body...and only two wires. It does retard the spark somewhat so you need to reset the ignition timing.
Did I say I'd finished?
I keep finding little bits & pieces to do. I guess on our cars there's always something.
