Installing the Clevor Pt.2

After a short recess of about 2 weeks while waiting on parts we regained hope and courage to finish the job...
Getting the parts here in time was a challenge, but so was almost everything in this build.
While installing we made a list of all things that did not fit:

• Alternator
• Steering pump
• Steering pump hoses
• Headers ( see headers on a clevor chapter )
• New 24inch radiator and the hoses
• V-Belts
• Equalizer bar
• Exhaust in combination with the steeroids kit
• Steering Cooler
• Back-up switch bracket ( not clevor related )
• Manual starter ( needed an automatic starter )
• Drive shaft 
• and all the rest we forgot :) 

 the back-up switch

Still more then enough ground clearance !

After installing the new Sanderson shorty Headers on the clevor, with some additional fixing to be read in the headers chapter, we where quit convinced we where going for the top.
There was still a lot of work to be done like installing the cooling system, the fuel system and all that kind of work while Michel was working on the exhaust.
All in all it went pretty well considering the first build.

On 8:34 PM we where ready to give it a try. First without ignition to pump the oil through the block.
After pumping the oil and checking the oil of the steeroids set we decided to fire it up.
It fired right up, but after turning the key back to the run position it instantly died on us.
Driving us insane for about 2 hours of searching and checking from firing order to wiring problems we found out that there was a loss in connection between the ignition switch and the coil that was there while in the starting position but disconnect as soon as the key turned back to the run position.
Not sure where this error was coming from we wired it from key to coil and it instantly ran and kept running. YEAH, Time for a beer !

 bad quality video and only a few seconds but the sound of the engine mad our day !

Because it was already 1:00 AM we only came so far of running if to about 5 minutes to heat it up ,letting the air out of the cooling system and drove it back and forth to check the clutch. It all worked well.
