68 valiant signet

today i painted the new water pump (it's cast iron so would rust real fast) and while it was drying i finalised the spacers needed for the alternator brackets. then i bolted on the mechanical fuel pump, of course the fuel hose from the hard line was roughly 2" short so that'll need replacing. i'll get ethanol resistant hose and replace the bit at the tank end too. after lunch i fitted the new water pump and alternator with it's brackets for the last time. just the fan spacer and fan and i can sort the rad' hoses. oh and a couple of heater hose fittings for the water pump and intake, i like to use my cars in the winter too and the heater worked great when i used it last. i sorted through the fan belts i have here and none are long enough, the closest being about 3/4" too short so i'll order that next week too.
i spoke to a mate who can cnc plasma cut anything and he's going to cut me some thick copper header gaskets. at least i shouldn't have to remove the headers....... again (fingers crossed).
no pics as you all know what a fitted water pump, alternator etc looks like.
neil.
