To reply to Dogless's first question.
As predicted we had a busy day yesterday so I only got the mandrel made.
Today's is engine lift while a cockney Santa entertains my little un.

Ran out of time to get it off its mounts, prep work all done though, cables all tagged up where they go the lifting kit is in place, spreaders and props fitted inside and out to make sure the deck beams don't go for a shit while the lump is being lifted.
Wednesday evening is now the new target.

Spare drive plate done and a lick of paint Ended up tickling the relief with a die grinder, it was an arse ache to try to clamp the plate so there was no movement between the driven spline and the fixed plate that bolts to the flywheel. Mandrel that I used for holding the plate in the Bridgeport. It was something I had previously knocked up for another job, all I had to do was turn the end down to fit the inner diameter of the drive plate spline and tap the end M12

pressure tested and signed off The gauge I used on the reg was calibrated unlike the one on the tank..... still, it was useful to indicate any pressure drop (of which there was none as expected.) I set it to 3.5 bar, the pressure relief is 3 bar and the pump 20 psi (1.37 bar) so we are well in. ignore the shut valve, I only just remembered to take a photo before I stripped it all down!
