C.A.R. Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) The dyno cells fuel supply pump failed, so a new one has been ordered, then it has to be fitted. Engine won't be dyno'd until next week now. Edited October 15, 2020 by C.A.F. CBR Jeff and OdinZ 2 Quote

C.A.R. Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) While setting the panel gaps I noticed that the RH door hinges had a small amount of slop. I contacted my friendly Z door pin and bush supplier but he was out of stock. I had to wait, but a couple of weeks ago they arrived and I finally had time to fit them. The pins were obviously slightly worn, however the new pin and bushes (along with a good greasing) have completely removed any movement from the hinges. Should be good for another 50 years now!
