Exhaust finished and continuing on engine hook up...

This part hold the hanger for the muffler; one stud broke.


After grinding and welding a new one.


The rubber hanger also broke...


This part is for Renault and may be Saab; number 35144. It may be used to hang the fuel pump on a SM.


This part is to tune the clutch. The thread is damaged by rust but salvageable.


The part is obviously to far in; I have to act on the cable.


Ready to install the steering rack. The access the nut on the other side of the screw holding the "point zero" on the steering cam, i have to remove the fender. It is a quick process and it is going to help greatly to put the battery tray, alternator, etc... back together.



The parking brake cable is at the end of adjustment. Hopefully it will be OK.


Plenty of grease on the suspension elements.


Now the clutch fork adjustment is in better position


Installing the exhaust is a nightmare when one doesn't have a lift; not fun but it is finished now :o)




All new hardware...





Ligarex to secure the triaxes' boots


This is the drain plug for the gearbox...


... After.


The tire place called me and the tires have arrived. I removed the grease from the front rims; this is due to excessive lube of the CV joints.


The last clamp is on (48mm or 1 & 7/8")


Throttle, choke cable, battery tray, hydraulic fluid reservoir, gear box shifter and brake accumulator are done.


I have to drain the fuel tank, install the radiator, alternator and battery; getting close to start the engine.
