I put the inside of the inlet manifold back in and noted that this arrangement of vacuum pipes is very silly indeed, especially since it just flaps about.
Much better
I've also tucked the vacuum reservoir hose under the inlet manifold and out the back, instead of it dangling over the top of the PS pump. More on that later.
I finished off the timing belt setup and got the tensioners correct and the locking tools removed. Next job is to visit the local tractor workshop and see if they have a torque wrench that goes to 450Nm so I can do the crank pulley bolt

Covers back on, and I'm pretty pleased with how smart they look
Manky rotten rubber here would just have let the whole thing down
