Mick's 70 Lowlight

Decided on a location for the coil packs today - on the rear of the fan shroud. Had to flatten part of the pressing on the rear to allow the left coil pack to sit flush. I've drilled out the mounting holes and will use some riv-nuts once the shroud is painted. With the coil pack location sorted I was also able to buy the plug leads - all 8 of them!!! Still need to source some heat proof braid for the bottom plug leads.

I also made up some tie down brackets for the fuel injectors / fuel rail. Originally I wanted to make a bracket that fitted to the underneath but after taking a look at the injector spacing I could not get two fixings side by side to keep the fuel rail square, so I decided to change the design to a more traditional type bracket.

With the fan shroud out I decided to finish off getting it ready for paint. There's a couple of mods to do to it before it is ready such as welding up the holes for the plug lead clips, welding the rear 'venturi' onto the inlet and getting rid of the air cleaner recess.I also need to sort out fitting the 50 horse fan into the 40 horse shroud as there are a few air gaps that I'm not happy about.
