leaky leak-offs

i mentioned previously that i wasnae totally convinced that the new leak-off pipes i’d fitted to the injectors were tight enough to make a completely airtight seal and, sure enough, when i was tinkering about with the alternator drive belt earlier in the day, i’d notcied that there was a bit of diesel leaking out around the pipes, where they pushed onto the injector bleed nipples.

not having any hoseclips of a suitably petite size, i did what i do best - botched the fucker  improvised cleverly;  i got some fancy thickish wire that  mazza had left over from when she did a jewellery course at college a while back - and i wired the ends of all the leak-off pipes, to stop them pulling off the nipples and hopefully give a better seal.


improvisation across the nation!
