The plug is just held in with the cir-clip, and the o-ring sits behind it. When I took the old one out, the old o-ring wasn't very squishy any more... and it was square in section, rather than round. Obviously it'd never been changed from when the donor was new!
The throttle cable came as a kit with all sorts of fittings for different situations. I used some threaded ends for the sheath which pass through the bulkhead and attaches to the engine.
The mountings on top of the scuttle have been riveted in so they won't shift. The cable can be adjusted using the barrel on top of the throttle body
The other end of the cable has a barrel soldered onto it. This was passed through bit that came with the kit - a shackle type part. I squeezed the ends together, enlarged the slot on the pedal and then drilled a hole through for a clevis pin that also came with the kit.
You can't see a lot from that - I'll have to take some better pics later when I take it out the pedal box to give it a lick of pain a dab of grease on the pin.
I've also got some other bits in last week - A heater box from a mini
I've also got a water vale to control the heat, a slider control for the dash & the cable to go between them

I'm saving up for some side pipes - I like the look of them, and it seems to fit the style of the car (30's sports cars tended to have them straight out the side anyway)
If it's loud, I'll just have to put up with it. I just wish they weren't so damn expensive...
Few more weeks? Hmmm - We'll see. It's in the lap of the West Country Gods at the moment.
