Had a very good day today. I drove up to XKs Unlimited in San Luis Obispo
to pick up my rear axle, freshly rebuilt with a 3.07 CWP from Mike
Satur...On arriving home with the axle, there was a message from the welding
shop that my swirl pot was done. Picked up the swirl pot, looks like they
did really good work on it- it came out exactly as I had been picturing it.
Ever notice how hard it can be to find people in any craft that really seem
to care, and put some heart into their work? I believe that there are
actually a higher percentage of good folks in the LBC field than many
others.
I spent a total of nine hours in the '96 F150 today chasing parts... But
then I have said for years that a British sports car and an American pickup
truck are like yin and yang, night and day, two halves of the whole...
I will take some photos of the swirl pot in and out of the car, and see if I
can get them online somehow for those who are interested. I think AT&T
WorldNet gives me a couple of megs of web space on a server somewhere, but I
don't have a lot of time to fool with it...If you are interested, let me
know. (Jim, I already counted you..)

fittings, cable and sleeve from the local bicycle shop, and 3/16" stainless
