                      A bit more work on the engine including the water pump and some drain valves and a bracket for the starter motor. Fuel injector pipes, the oil filler and a start on the air compressor system. Still to add some work to the compressor and lots of linkages or as many as my skills will allow.

                            Hi Scottie
                            Very neat work with the "extras". Really like what you're doing with the engine. Having said that I wouldn't know a spark plug from an oil filter :rolling:

                              Showing my excellent skill of engine recognition I can categorically state that it is a 6-cylinder Gardner, type 6LW, 8 369cm3 (510in3) diesel...
                              Mind you that's what it says in the book.

                                Thought it strange, a Cummins engine in a UK vehicle before the days of worldwide supply chains. PaulE
