Week 5 - the Build

Hard to believe I'm five weeks into this already. Time flies when you're having fun. The old pandemic isn't helping much as we go into full lockdown again here in Wales. Fortunately I'm still able to work on it but it's not as sociable as it used to be!

Anyway, the last week has been taken over with plumbing! Firstly the brakes but also the fuel lines and the clutch hydraulic line. 

In the Fiesta the fuel tank is at the back and is moving to the forepeak and the engine to the stern. This will need new fuel lines and an extension to the clutch hydraulic pipe. I will also have to reroute the part of the loom that goes to the fuel pump/sender unit.

I've done much of the plumbing but none of the clipping of the pipes to the hull - a job for next week. It all looks a bit of a mess at the moment - a triumph of function over form. We'll be seeing a lot of that before its done!

So here are the photos of the work so far.
