Well, apart the steering rod concern, the 2 current issues are an interference between the alternator i bought to replace the dynamo and the steering box. https://zupimages.net/up/20/16/3ikw.jpg The alternator is a bit longer , i had to decrease the angle of the steering column to make it fit. Will ...

That is for sure a wise advise. I will investigate further.

At least things are moving forward, confinement gives me some time to work on the car with the help of my friend Eric. He is more a citroen specialist but he adapts quickly and the new wiring loom is now almost connected. https://zupimages.net/up/20/14/ef0w.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/20/14/bfic.jpg

I have received the 3/8 bsf nut i ordered but it doesn't fit more than a few threads on the axis.

Could it be another type of thread ? Not bsf ?

Thanks for your help , a 3/8 not a 5/8 nut. The ball moves freely, i'll grease it generously.

Hi everybody and happy new year, i am at least back on my 9 sports. Working on the steering right now. I have to replace the castle nuts ont he rod. Any one know what size i should find? 5/8 bsf? Thanks

I've sent it to Mr Gibson. The turn around time is ... quite long.

The engine will be on the test bench later this month !!
And i should have it back in France therafter... With , i bet , a lot of consecutive trouble shooting and adjustment during the final reassembly.. I'm currently sending the radiator to a local shop for a recore. Thanks for asking !

Thanks a lot for these very usefull tips !!

I hope 2017 will see this car move by it's own power ...

Nice family car . Who needs a monospace ?

Gears and pinions look quite fair don't they ?

Thanks all. I'm still stuck with the engine... John should finish it pretty "soon".
By the way , i'd like to check the gearbox. Any thoughts about what i should look at, common weakpoints ?

Work is sloooowly moving forward...

Very nice job ! This car will be beautifull.
What tyres are on, Blockley ?
