Thanks Bryan, I did look at that and double checked the pin was located and that everything moves as it should. I've also got a picture of it like this before I stripped it down:

Thanks oddjob.
Over the weekend I got the engine bits painted and baked in my home made oven.
Valentinik:
I also collected the remainder of the parts from powdercoat
I've also ordered the tyres for the wheels so hopefully will drop the wheels off to be built with new spokes at the weekend.
Valentinik:
Thanks, I think I did like the look of the bolt head being the same colour as the case in this instance. For the less (torque) critical bolts I was planning on using stainless cap heads where I can. (Covers,engine mounts,etc).
You are correct, the gear shaft seal was missing when I took the picture but it's been installed now. Along with fitting the Pistons to the rods.
Valentinik:
I took the tank to a friend today who is the paint shop manager for a very large dustbin lorry manufacturer as he offered to paint the tank for me.
I try to do as much of the work myself and to learn new skills as I go. However, the equipment he's got to use will undoubtedly give a better result than me doing the job myself.
The colour I've chosen may not be to everyone's taste but I'm hoping it will suit the style I'm going for.
