In the end I decided to go for a black brake booster rather than silver, so a quick blow over with primer.

Cleaned up, I will need to drill and tap for small bolts or "hammer rivets", any thoughts on which to use?

Last job of the day was to go and get my Covid vaccination. I've got a holiday booked to Austria at the end of June but am not confident it is going to work out.

Front subframe back in tomorrow if I'm feeling OK. My wife felt ill for 24 hours after her vaccination.

H Jim,

that looks brilliant and we envy you! However did you not mount brake booster, power steering and other parts on wrong side?

Ignition seems to be correctly mounted.

Just kidding of course. Looks really great!

Well I had a post covid vaccine "hangover" this morning so didn't make it out till after 3.

I pulled the subframe back into place, that was actually a lot of effort as it wouldn't roll to where it was needed.

Tomorrow I will roll the car out of the garage and move the lift to give access for the engine crane.

Does anyone know what this clip is used for, I don't remember anything being clipped into it. It was pushed on just ahead of the brake pipe and behind the engine shock absorber mount.

Hi,
i think it could be from the  main wire from the Battery to the Starter/Generator.

Hi Frank, I don't think so, my harness has two clips on it which attach to the engine block. Perhaps one is missing from the harness?

Hi Jim,

But i don't see it in WebParts....

I knew that I have seen that clip but I didn't remember where.
Frank is right, the heat shield under the battery is kept in place with this clip at one side and a screw at the other side.

Lutz

I am confused, I have never seen a heat shield there. But it would make sense to protect the brake line from the exhaust manifold. Does anyone have a picture.

RHD cars might not have that heat shield, for whatever reason. But you still have the clip .....

Thanks for the pictures Frank, however I think Lutz is correct. EPC says the heat shield is not fitted on my (RHD) car. Looks like it must have been planned at one point but never implemented.
