Day 4

Now for the big stuff! I've borrowed an engine hoist so its time for the engine and gearbox to go together.

The use of a workmate makes a good platform for attaching the engine to the gearbox

All ready to lift!

Easy does it, steady as she goes!

Looking good. Carefully easing the engine down and back into the transmission tunnel.

Engine in place.

RH engine mount

LH engine mount

Next is connecting up the wiring loom. All fairly straight forward, but there is one small wire to connect to the ECU. Not quite sure on this so an email to Caterham tonight!

Next up is the cooling system! Now which hose goes where? Perhaps a job for tomorrow!

Clutch hose attached.

Engine loom earth and MAP unit

Radiator and fan ready to install. The brackets didn't appear to fit but a fellow Supersport builder, Andrew pointed me in the right direction to fit some separate clips to the side of the fan! All sorted now.

Inertia switch connected.

Trial fitting of the J hose

Expansion tank vent hose.

The all important gear knob!
