FrankenSpider back on the road again

[Godfrey DiGiorgi <ramarren@domain.elided>]

LT had time this weekend so FrankenSpider took a trip to the shop 
yesterday for engine sump transplant. Everything went smoothly and the 
job was done this afternoon. All suitable checks of engine bearings, 
oil pump and pickup, etc were made, and everything checked out fine.

The only thing left unfinished were some small radiator repairs ... LT 
removed the broken fan shroud and found that two of the shroud mounting 
points had come free, in addition to one of the radiator block mount 
points having separated.  He removed the broken shroud bits and made a 
temporary repair to the mount point; next time it goes in for service, 
the radiator will come out and go to the shop for overhaul.

That, and getting the bloody speedo gearing right (Tom S, I'll be in 
touch...), are the only bits that need attention on Signor 
FrankenSpider now. It's running beautifully again and will look 
presentable after a good wash.

fun fun fun,
Godfrey
