I think my stuff may be a little niche for Edd We do share the same taste in gloves though.

Take a look at this lovely genuine air filter. Marvel in it's filteryness, for it is almost the last one ever No more in Germany, five remaining at various TPS branches around the UK, which will shortly be in my stock. The really stupid thing is that I'm paying the same for the genuine filters as decent aftermarket



Pretty much back together now. It just needs the ECUs hooking back up and the front panel putting on and its ready to start



I'm changing all the cooling components, including the thermo-switch in the radiator. For that, the radiator has to be removed from the front panel, and to do that requires tackling these rusty nuts on the bottom. They are always seized to the stud, and you can't just wail on them because they are part of an NLA rubber bushing which will snap.

Slice the nut in to bits without damaging the stud:



then it comes off relatively easily. I'll clean up the threads with a die before it goes back in



The radiator was already sitting flat from when I drilled out the broken bolt so I could just lift off the front panel



Front panel - this needs cleaning before it goes back on



This is the switch. Also NLA, of course. I'll replace it with a branded aftermarket unit. You can see one of the rubber bushings in the bottom left of the pic. I do have an aftermarket source for these as they are pretty ubiquitous in industrial machinery.
