Capella Worklog – Engine Mounting

Rear engine plate is about 90% done. Just have to finish the lower mounting holes, cut a window for the clutch slave and carve out some metal for the starter and it’s done. Also got a dual pump holder from Leroy at BTR and have found that an EK Civic radiator will fit in just nicely beside the fuel cell.

Engine is now suspended by the front and rear motor plates. Yay! Not quite finished – I have to weld up a few things when the motor comes out. Also got the bender stand, just going to shoot some paint on it before I get cracking. Hopefully that will be some time this week if there is a break in the weather.
