After a busy week at work and a week on hols with the family we returned on Good Friday. Down to work on the cooling system. A bit of a mystery as my combination of alloy radiator without bleed pipe and heater didn't match any of the pictures I had or the AG. Still a question on Blatchat and a call with Ian provided most of the answers - and it turned out I had far too many pipes. Key was to use the t piece and create a link to the heater and expansion tank. Fitted most of the wiring and tidied up with the wiring as well as fitting the far too long throttle cable - fitted by bending the throttle peddle about 2 inches by bending with screwdriver - crude but effective (but why don't CC supply a shorter cable?)
Also fitted airbox (almost) as the bobbin mounts were missing. In the meantime fitted the steering column - very straightforward apart from fitting the top bush which took a lot of pressure and silicone lube and the bolts on the Q/R steering wheel where the wrong sort - a call to Sean had the missing parts in the post..
Fitted the exhaust headers and cat - very straightforward - just need to figure out how to secure the lambda wiring under the car as there's no obvious fixing.
At the same time another Supersport builder (Mark) brought our virtual team to 3 and made pooling questions/solutions easier and quicker - we're getting quite a catalogue of photos and tips from Sean.
