Out of the front of the tunnel come the radiator pipes, and the heater
pipes. The radiator is inclined from the vertical and is held in a carrier so that all the air entering the front of the car goes through it. The ridged black pipe at he back of the picture (left side of the car) is the main electrical loom. The two main battery leads have the supplementary loom attached to them. To the left of the picture is the steering rack mounted on the front bulkhead and in front of the wheel line. |

This shows the right
hand side of the front, with the brake and clutch connections. Out of the tunnel on the right side of the car are the rear brake and clutch hydraulics, radiator vent, servo vacuum, and electric speedo drive. |

On top of the
battery moulding is bolted the spare wheel support.
The heater blower will be fitted into the hole at the top right. |

And this is where the spare wheel sits. There will be a screw to secure it down onto the battery cover. When building up the car, I needed to put this assembly together to ensure that I had left room around the spare wheel. In this picture, the clutch hydraulic line is touching the wheel, and needs to be bent out of the way adjusted. |

This is the completed left hand
side of the front end, showing the Metro washer bottle with the loom in
place and the final arrangement of the brake pipes. The black top to the washer bottle is to disguise it, since it is seen through the bonnet vent. |
