[Mgs] (Not) gone but probably forgotten

[Richard Lindsay]

Hi Friends,

I got back in the garage today and did a bit more work on the TD. This is
the first time I've worked on the car in a week, or two. Been busy
elsewhere.

Last weekend I had a great time at the Radnor Hunt Concours, just west of
Philadelphia. I didn't post this info in advance because, well, one just
doesn't announce that their home will be vacant for a week.  And yes, I
trust you car guys but nothing posted on the Internet is private. Its ALL
public domain from the moment the 'enter' key hits bottom.

Anyway, today was fun. I cleaned the frame further forward and just onto
the cross-member, on the right side. I then painted it. Once dry, I
installed the new starter.

I next cleaned and refinished the clutch linkage.

The bolt loosely threaded into the housing is for the ground strap. I've
left this bolt loose to remind me to re-install the strap.

Sorry for the soft focus. And while the paint was curing on the clutch, I
installed a new oil filter element into the refinished filter body.

I then cleaned and refinished the front body tub upright, plus the
stabilizing rod.

The fuel line needs to be touched up where it is attached to the upright.

Tomorrow I hope to finish the left side upright and frame, up onto the
cross-member. I'm REALLY close to setting the head. That's a special moment!

Happy to be home!
