Radiator bracket continued and new spark plugs


Today I completed a few outstanding jobs on the engine.  I continued to clean the old gaskets from the sump and clutch cover using a razor blade, being very careful to ensure the aluminium was not damaged.  The clutch cover gasket took ages but the gasket remover spray I bought seemed to help.  Once both were clean I installed them with new gaskets and Loctite gasket adhesive.  I also changed the oil filter and spark plugs.

I bought some black gloss spray for the radiator bracket and gave it a couple of coats.  I fixed the bracket to the chassis with 3 rivnuts (I opted not to use two of the holes I made in the bracket to keep the 9mm hole needed for the rivnut away from the suspension.




Old spark plugs... Probably didn't actually need changing.
