Some Further Wolseley Hornet Autumn Photos.


Exhaust System (Tailpipes not yet trimmed to length), manifold to have further attention before painting.


Passenger side heat shield.




Perhaps the competitors view?


Heat shield mounting boss being bronze welded into position. The second "lozenge" shape mounting, ready to bronze weld on to the back of the Brooklands Can, can be seen in the background.
We will also weld a threaded Lambda sensor mounting bush discretely into position behind the heat shield, to allow an occasional monitor of the mixture.

Making exhaust mountings ready to bronze weld to the back of each Brooklands Can where a bolt and post will travel through the body skin to pick up with a bulkhead mounted bracket; avoiding any loads through the aluminium body of the car.



Engine breather catch tank and fittings.

The Original throttle Idle Horn had a very worn and a repaired post that was restricting smooth operation. We thought it best to ream the horn and make a new bush to suit, then to make a new post to allow smooth full operation.
