Nice to see you back on this one Peter looking good

Looks good. I'm watching.

What is the light coloured ribbed part in front of the engine, next to the two SU carburettors?

Got it, from Wikipedia: its a great socking supercharger mounted in front of the grille! As though 4 1/2 litres wasn't enough! It would have lengthened the chassis a lot, although your box art does not show the supercharger variant.

Try again....Bentley detailing PDF:

Roy.

I tried to download this but there were several steps involved, including a compulsory download of "MacKeeper" which has a bad reputation for messing up a computer.

Have you got a straight pdf you could send me, perhaps by contacting me by PM and I send you my email to get it as an attachment?

Is that not why it's called a blower?

Work on this one is going well i have got all the running gear on so far i have no problems with this one considering the age of the kit.

If you search for it there are several available, one £29 on eBay "Buy it now", and elsewhere at higher prices. I'm tempted.
