I got a 1/2" NPT tap off ebay so that I could tap out the pressed in hoses on the water pump. I took the smaller one at the back out to the same size and then took the front cover off and set about it with a die grinder to remove the casting marks. With that done, I sanded it smooth and gave it a quick polish. I couldn’t get to all the corners, so some of it isnt as shiny as it could be. Looks way better tho. I cleaned it all out, greased the pump and sealed it all back up ready to fit. I stuck the gaskets on, and did the throttle body at the same time. Was a weird feeling putting it on properly at last. It was an awful day on Sunday, blowing a gale and raining (you’ve got to love British Summers). I pushed the car out enough to get a chair in front of it and settled down for a good few hours of wiring. I got the entire right hand side done (that;s Drivers right, not from the front). I taped up each sensor individually which looks miles better than the flexi tubing stuff. I’d fitted the oil filter and dipstick one evening this week, and put the last of the sensors into the block so I decided to fit the accesories for good too. It looks ace with it all done. I also hung the fuel pressure regulator and stuck some hoses on to take a pic (I know they are on the wrong ports!). Need to finish the other side off and then it’s on to the rest of the wiring and plubing.
