ps, chuck the wire and get fresh stuff, spray anti splatter into the nozzle too and you should find it easier.

Just thought I read somewhere about making sure you do the bracket for the extra top mount.

Oh had a slight accident too.......when cutting of for flipfront watch out for the earth wires(about 8) on the drivers side....

If you want to run an extra engine steady you will need to weld on a braket onto the firelwall/bulkhead as the mounting (left hand drive master and clutch cylinder holes) will have been half removed by the box.

I personally have never run a 2nd top engine steady, i have 2 on the box and one on the driver side of the engine - i just dont see the need.

Most men have a brown stain in their box. Women on the other hand are pinkish.

Box looks O.K. but the welds could be better considering that the area thats been cut out is a major structural part of the shell. If I when you I'd renew the bowden cable liner in your welder. It's the part that looks like a bicycle brake cable running from the welder to the torch. These should be replaced periodically because rust can build up in the liner which is transfered to the wire causing it to start and stop when your trying to weld creating a poor weld.
