    Yes all good, just got the parts back last week for the throttle linkages so need to get these mounted up - hopefully will be back on it in a week or so.

    I was just wondering last night if the project was stalled. Glad to hear it's still progressing.

    Looking forward to the next update.

    Success tonight, after a small adjustment with a larger stand off on the throttle linkage to the fuel pump all is working as intended, can now crack on with the few last jobs i.e. fit exhausts and then a full electrical and mechanical over check and then start filling with fluids!

    Stick at it, there is a lot of work to complete if you want to get close to a Michelotto replica but it looks as if you have a great many of the parts already. Just waiting for a few minor parts now for final push to get mine finished!

    All most there now, basically last check of gear box adjustment and button the pan up and sort out hose connection to the expansion tank. The last 5% is taking probably 30% of the total project time. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I have been following your thread with great interest over the months.
    How close are you to running the engine? My interest is in the fuel pump in particular as it was me who made it for Mike. He is the brains behind all things Kugelfisher, so I can't take any credit for the setting up and assembly!
    Are you going to take the car to Mike for the final set up? If so I would like to come along.
    Keep up the excellent work.

    Hopefully the next few weeks, a few minor jobs to finish up then torque over-check the whole car and see what happens! Yes Mike will be involved in set-up but not quite sure on logistics yet.

    wonderful detailing... twin snorkle airbox looks wonderful. perhaps better craftsmanship than the original cars.
