Series King Cab

So that would explain why it wouldn't when I just pushed them separately, obviously still need the vac advance too

Will go find the pipe and some large jubilees now anyway, then need to think of where to mount it! May settle for something onto the rocker cover as I don't have enough pipe to reach the wing

Tis a little heavy for the box at the minute! 74kg and that seatbox has the central piece missing so its kinda just free floating, no way it'll hold me and a 25kg P38 electric seat as well

I don't have any got the cardboard to make some templates for repair sections though

Tomorrows job is service the engine, turn down idle as its a bit fast, sort the air intake pipework then do the roof so I can actually work on the insides of the cab when its raining!

I don't like those rounded ones so much, going for a square design as I want to use a cat flap rear

Definately not within regs

With a king cab what's behind the seats? Storage?

Yeah basically just storage

MAF sorted out and plumbed in. Having lunch then gonna fire it up and see

Also done an oil and filter change

Revs up real nice now
