I got my New 1275 engine started last weekend. Had a water leak on the heater tap handle and the spin on oil filter adapter had a annoying leak. Got those fixed, no major problems. Also The Starter pull cable..... I ordered a MG Midget Mk1 Sprite Mk2 cable that is longer. It won't work on the Bugeye. It is a braided wire cable not a solid wire cable. Got my Smiths rvc 2415 tach. installed and it fits and works fine with my electronic ignition. My hydraulics was a night mare. I had a rebuilt master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders. The wheel cylinders both leaked and the clutch side of the master cylinder leaked. I had to order a new master cylinder (OUCH)and new rear wheel cylinders. Hopefully the parts will be here mid week and I can get the Bugeye on the road.
