Not a great deal of progress made today, gave the whole chassis its final coat of paint along with a few other parts while i wait for the poly bushes etc to arrive so i can begin assembling the running gear.
Acquired a steering wheel off flebay which was in need of a little bit of TLC also bought an old steering wheel hub hopefully should be with me early next week then i will look at removing the black finish to a polished ally look.

The before and after pictures of the steering wheel, the ally was badly pitted, rivets were proud of the wood and the wood rim was very grubby. A little bit of sanding and polishing then a few coats of lacquer which brought the wood grain out and gave the look i was after.

Made a simple aligning tool out of ally to align the clutch friction plate for a type 9 gear box, the second image shows where the tool goes before the pressure plate is fitted to the fly wheel.
