Which thrust washer

The rear hub thrust washer differ and I am not sure why.

One is plain and one is a friction washer.

I have sent a mail to Derek, but if anyone knows which is correct, or which hand they go on that would be great.

Rear end build

I am getting carried away with building rather than blogging sorry.

I also have (or rather had) a new friend

Having relocated my new friend I could get on with the build.

Ears and rear brakes dry fitted so I could fit the brake lines in the correct location.

Next was fitting the dedion to the car - not much clearance

Radius arms fitted

I have completed a few more jobs since these photos were taken, but I am falling behind my self imposed schedule. More updates to come.

I am going round the bend....

Or at least I will be able to as I now have a steering wheel

That all for today

Oil pipes, steering column and sump plug

Oil pipes done. 

Steering column in, no photos of that I am afraid.

And is this the sump drain? I was sent a plug to replace a cap head screw and am told it is the one in the middle of the dry sump.... I am guessing this one, but don't want to un screw something important

It has been a while!

I have had a busy week at work and my parents staying so have not been doing much on the car but I have improved some of the cooling pipe work, fitted the cowling, radiator front anti roll bar, oil cooler and roll bar. I have probably done a few other bits I can't remember.

Not the best photos but I am sitting on the sofa and am not going back out to the garage.

I have also sent some questions to Derek as the oil system pipe work, diagram and sump don't align see photos below at tell me if you understand it 

As I don't

Sump protection

In a previous post I mention the gap between the bell housing and dry sump pan. 

Having mention the hole, and sent a picture, to Derek, he sent the sump sump protector/hole blocker.

Questions about cooling

As the title suggests I have a few more questions. I have sent them to Derek and hope for a reply on Monday. 

1. As I don't have a heater I have joined the water connection at the

rear right of the engine to a T piece. I have positioned this at the

water connection front left, just above the lower radiator pipe and

connected it to the smaller outlet. The third leg of the t piece joins

to the lower connection on the expansion tank. Is this all correct?

2.  I have a short metal male male union with threaded boss (temp

sensor) half way along it. See photo. Do I need to put this in the

pipeline?

3. If it is needed which sensor is needed? See photo. I believe they

are for different garage types. If it is the one with the round

connection how does the connection work?

4. Again if it is the round type, will I need to use the same for the

oil temp sensor?

5. I think I have the wrong type of cowling. See photo. The fan is

significantly larger and the connections don't line up. Furthermore

the instructions talk of a front cowling as well as a rear. I have the

rear (but sigma) but no front.

6. I have connected the small water outlet at the rear of the engine

directly to the expansion tank is this correct?

I am sure this one is correct! But it is worth checking.
