Nah the cut one is on the early series IIa. Must find a new one for that.
All the right bits, but not necessarily in the right order.

Though I'd bolt the galv bukhead support bracket on today.

Simple job.

Half hour looking for the new nuts n boltsI had put somewhere safe.

Chassis was rusty all round and behind where the bracket goes so it needed cleaning and painting.

Found a drill and brush within 20 mins and started cleaning.

Had to take the wing off to gain access.

The light wiring is shot anyway and the 3 bolts came undone reasonably easily.

Found the chassis has at least an inch of sandy mud sitting in it.

Holes in the bulkhead repair do not line up with the bracket, decided, as I couldn't locate a file to take the dog out and bin it for the day.

The exhaust touches the chassis, the air hosey thing looks a bit constricted, how important are these?  rbchn

All due  respects to PO (top chap), I just want it to work for me.

Any constructive comments welcome.

Has anyone got a series three wiper/wash switch available too please?

Much fiddling sill to do.

Had to call 101 due to freelance recyclers wearing hoods in a recovery truck  and hanging around near the fleet.

Can the hoses be re routed or shall I give up and put the petrol engine back in?

Clock the turbo upwards and then raid the local scrappies for some nice bends or shorten the metal on to suit the elbow you have. You also will have to redrill and tap new holes for the actuator.

Thanks, Dave

I've put my glasses on and am reaching for the Haynes manual to look up 'actuator'.

I can feel a chilled Pimms coming on.

Ummm. Yeah, you'll want to sort that hose! Best thing is to clock the turbo as Hippydave suggests. I've got a spare turbo knocking about and can supply pics or video of the operation if you need?

Absolute pleasure to chat to you earlier! I'm on the gin...

 You may find it under wastegate as that is what the actuator is for.

Ta, I'm learning all the time.
