All these comments spurred me on to actually do something with this today. Shock horror I've actually fitted something to it!!! more on that later.
I removed the red security thingamy on the max fuel screw, removed a bracket from the air compressor and then moved the bosch VE rear bracket, removed the hydraulic pump and FITTED THE 12V STOP SOLENOID!!!
I then attacked the LDA and got the security cover off that. Sadly the actual screws put up alot more of a fight than the security cover did and I can't budge them so gonna blast them with plus gas and leave them for a while.
I also removed most of the oil filler tube (need a 1 1/4" core plug to blank it properly) as it's gotta go so I can fit my engine mounts. I'm gonna buy a rocker cover with an oil filler in it. I also cleaned off some dirt to uncover the rear dipstick hole so I can use that when I flip the sump. I need to get an 18mm spanner as my 17mm is just too small to go over the air compressor bolts or the bolts on the drive shaft and 19mm is huge. I'm a little worried that they are actually gonna be 11/16ths but there's only one way to find out LOL.
