Nice to see you back on this one Peter looking good

 

[Stevekir]

Looks good. I'm watching.

What is the light coloured ribbed part in front of the engine, next to the two SU carburettors?

Got it, from Wikipedia: its a great socking supercharger mounted in front of the grille! As though 4 1/2 litres wasn't enough! It would have lengthened the chassis a lot, although your box art does not show the supercharger variant.

I tried to download this but there were several steps involved, including a compulsory download of "MacKeeper" which has a bad reputation for messing up a computer.

Have you got a straight pdf you could send me, perhaps by contacting me by PM and I send you my email to get it as an attachment?

Is that not why it's called a blower? :rolleyes:

Work on this one is going well i have got all the running gear on so far i have no problems with this one considering the age of the kit.

If you search for it there are several available, one £29 on eBay "Buy it now", and elsewhere at higher prices. I'm tempted.
