actually davis craig do warranty their water pumps we had a few faulty ones and they replaced them straight away, aslong as it is quite obviously the pumps fault and not the way it has been used!

But be careful with it do not run it dry at any point and check that the centre seal and prop seal arent leaking as thats where we have had problems with them.

started the brakes lines aswell lastnight:



done the front axle and piped thru the bulkhead to do the rears and started on the rear lines, looks funky IMO!

removed all the old brake lines and fuel lines, so next week i plan to have the fuel system plumbed and the brakes fully working...... and i decided to make a gear linkage from some rod ends etc.... rather than the shit bendy plastic one as standard

spend a couple of hours on it last night removed the old fuel tank and fittings, then got the rest of the rear brake lines fitted, went to go and rivit them all into place but i couldnt find any rivits small enough so came home! thinking about doing the fuel system tonight but it seems like alot of effort..... may come home on time tonight and have a last one tomorrow on it....

Today's progress.

You can see yesterday's progress in the background, on the exhaust tunnel.

Not sure what we're doing tomorrow, but there will be pics of course.
