I was out there all day today and got some stuff done. I installed the HX pump and oil filter, then I put some hose seperators to keep the oil lines away from the headers.
Decided to paint the hood latch. Clean all the mill scale off , put it in the fast etch wait 45 minutes go out and rinse it off. Lightly sand the piece and prime it. Sweet looks good. Now sand with 400 wash it off with prep spray and ready for paint. All set up like I know what I'm doing, dew rag, resperator, paint all ready. I spray the whole back side ,perfect! do the edges and now the front. spray the whole thing Nice" oops a line from the wire its hanging from. No problem, I'm ready to spray, door opens crash bang! I look, nothing just something on the stairs that fell. look back BIG SAG! Time to shower see it tomorrow.
I put a rubber liner between the brackets and the mounting point so I won't get any vibration from the pump.
Here's where I mounnted the hose seperators.
These will direct them awa from the Headers down near the oil pan.
This keeps them away from chaffing on the framee stand and the third one away from the power steering pulley.
I'll add one more once I get the radiator back in so I camn make up the hose in it's final position.
Here are the oil filter and HX pump mounted.
Tomorrow I might get the radiator support back in.
