Badge Engineering

AM Alpine work again. This time I started with bleeding the brakes - which seemed fine ?

Then I screwed in the new flasher relay and the water spray pump.

I think I might get a replacement Lucas flasher unit though. Then I also re-aligned the drivers door and fitted smaller rubber seal that I had in stock. It fitted much better but the broken fitting needs replacing.

I then tried to fix the bonnet catch. It had no captive huts to screw into sit foxed me really. I managed to get it to catch one side and got the bonnet to stay down (and come back up) but it's not correct. I finished by changing the fan switch.

Then Harkstead in the MK7 and back.

I then looked at the Alpine and decided to do the badges to save time tomorrow. 

Some were bent with broken pins and others did not want to fit so I stuck them all down with clear sealant.

It looks better, although I need to give it a clean and there are lots and lots of jobs still to do.

I then took the E-type out to get petrol. 

Lots of red in the background now again I noticed. It took 40+ litres but the fuel gauge hardly moved unlike the ammeter.

The fuel gauge has done this before, but I'll have to watch it with the long run on Saturday.
