These bloody pipes that converted the original seawater cooled Volvo engine to freshwater are real Heath Robinson jobs. Fitting perfectly after factory installation, thereafter they need caked in black mastic. With black magic. Prop joins me awhile and demonstrates how difficult this job is proving. Something I’d begun to appreciate over the preceding couple of hours. We discuss options and he legs it off. And persevering away, I may just have made progress by the time light stops play.
I shower and sit awhile in the bar and get a call back from an old pal who re-engined his Griffin two years back. At the moment that’s beginning to feel very appealing.
