Here is a picture of my little massey with a h70 Tec as you can see the fuel line goes through the cover on it as well ......not saying it couldn't rub a spot in the hose but if your going to put some grommets on you will probably  need to drill your holes out a little bigger in the cover  to get it to fit .....we use mowers for years with tec motors and never had any issue with that at all any way it would look good but last time I put a new fuel hose in it fit pretty tight so just thought I would add that little bit of info.....looks great keep up the good work .post-14317-0-35846100-1422279780.jpg not sure if you can see the fuel line in the picture or not but it goes through the very same way.

You know James he may be right, I was thinking whenever I ran wires through holes I always used a grommet, but with the  fuel line being rubber already?

well not much to speak of but at least there is some!! the stickers arrived thanks Mark (meadowfield) and the 227-5 (tad of topic but related) has some new ones on too. but the ranger has the dash sticker put on with the throttle, ignition and some blanking pad put on. i need to order a choke cable!! the serial number has now been uncovered. cant wait to get all the other jobs done so that some more progress can happen!

Hello guys, sorry for my recent absence, but i have been waiting for my days to be free. so here i am back with some news, i have 4 new tyres and 4 new inner tube for my lawn ranger. the rear tyres are in the back of my car and i am taking them of with the tyre machine later on today so expect an update late today early tomorrow if all goes well. not much in terms of progress but a huge step forward because now i have some parts to make it a rolling chassis after i sandblast at school.

it was such a shame that today there was a lesson on when i wanted to use the sand blaster so only one half of one split wheel. but at least that is done, and i got the two tubes in the two front tyres so i can test fit them.
