Say hello to Eddie - he's a cocker spaniel and very cute.
After tearing myself away, I started on the air inlet manifold. I loosely placed it in position and realised it didn't get in the way of the alternator so I tightened that up first and fitted the belt:
Next step was to attach the plenum to the manifold piece I'd filed down. As I had done the filing myself and the manifold didn't fit absolutely perfectly (and someone has had air leakage problems at this junction), I wanted to put some instant gasket between manifold and plenum. This is the stuff applied and the pieces clamped and left to dry:
Before I fit this, I need to fit what I think is the oil pressure sensor which is just below the plenum. But just waiting for confirmation that that is what it is and I may need to buy some sort of socket to remove the existing Ford version:
I've also bitten the bullet and ordered the Emerald ECU, radiator and a few other bits from GBS. I will call Emerald tomorrow and order the fly leads they sell and the great wiring extravaganza can begin.
