Ignition key fun

I think the picture below is better than words. And this is why you don't buy cheap key barrel...

In the end i put the old one back in and will get a new key cut. At least it was a good opportunity to completely dismantle the switch and clean the contacts.

Spitfire manifold

I knew i had a crack in the manifold. My plan was to weld it using the bbq to heat up and cool down and pneumatic hamer on the weld technique.

Anyway... renoved it to realize it was broken in half. Luckily i had a spare one i had to adapt a little bit to fit.
That will do till i get a nice ss exhaust.

One step closer, yeeeaaaah !
