Trip to Ninove
Friday night on the way to Ninove the electronic ignition packed up on Andy's van. It took us a little while to do the diagnostic. I had a spare distributor on my van and we managed to rebuild a complete unit on the side of the road.

EMPI Exhaust Extension
My E.M.P.I. Exhaust was extracting the fumes directly behind the bumper and something needed to be done
I found the old exhaust of my Peugeot and thought of taking the end pipe to fit into the van's exhaust.
This is the end pipe ready to be welded.
Job done. Bit of tidying up needed.
And this is the end result.
I took the opportunity to make a bracket as well.
Now the fumes are directed to the road not to the bumper.

1200cc on the stand for storage.
The 1200CC had to be mounted on the trolley stand for storage. This will allow me to start it every now and then.
With these 2 pieces of wood it was nice and easy.
The electric pump was on the way, I will have to mount it elsewhere.
The tricky bit was when I found out the metalic bar was on the way as well.
It had to go.

Getting ready for the new engine
Darren came today to help me to finalize the engine and remove the 1200cc. We tuned the Dellorto carbs with his Carburattor sync tool.
Very handy trolley which fits snug under the engine.
The oil pressure gauge had to be reconnected.
The new 12v starter motor is connected as well as the new fuel line.
And the electric full pump has been reconnected.
The electric harness has been sorted and the engine bay is ready to install the new motor tomorrow morning.
I took the opportunity to weld the throttle cable tube to the tinware.
