What a nice day yesterday! - The first weekend i havnt had to work in 2
months (damn i should have been born rich!) The Riley got an outing as
daily driver (read carrying kids all over creation!) and i even had time
to fit my new aluminium valve cover to the 69 - fair to say that the
"made in England" sticker was accurate since i had to spend a few minutes
fettling the burrs off the casting! - i had already prepared a rad to
heater pipe by stripping, polishing and laquering a spare one only to
find that it didnt clear the oil filler cap which is much larger than the
original!- fortunately they bend!!
Today is reinstallation of the new front bumper and a tear round the
state - just for fun
This is the first time i have felt almost human in weeks!
