A frustrating day

So I'm not getting the steering rack for a couple of days. I carried on today trying to prep the chassis for taking the engine and gearbox. All I achieved was fitting the horns, the engine mounts and the handbrake lever and cable.

I spent most of my day looking for parts, breaking them, going to the shop to replace them, or looking for parts. I also spent a bit more time looking for parts.

Eventually, I found the earth cable that fits to the LH engine mount - it was in the right box but had slipped under one of the flaps at the bottom... What hasn't turned up is the clutch release mechanism and gearbox fixing pack. I'll have to order these from the Caterham factory but they won't receive the order until Monday...

In the meantime, I think I can get on with the propshaft, diff and rear suspension (which is why I fitted the handbrake).
