Just route the hydraulic pump high pressure side hose into the resevoir so it can circulate. I just left all the plumbing in there and will take it out when I have time.

Regards

Chris

Hopefully the project continues. Personally, I hope he stops diddling with anything besides the engine. All the rest is moot if it won't run !

I have a mate who has raced one. and the amount of hydraulic crap to operate the roof etc is amazing . He has removed a lot of it and saved a lot of mass.

Hey Ralph ! Don't be a mamby pamby ! Go for the gusto ! When you feel that turbine like acceleration, you'll recover the entire purchase price in the first 100 miles on a windy country road ! It will be hours before the **** eating grin leaves your face ! You'll never walk by your garage without opening the door and simply gazing at the car ! Another cool thing is the looky loo's ! I have had lots of folks pose with the car for their own photos ! I can't count the guys that have asked me if the car really had a V-12
I wouldn't buy a 600 as a daily driver. As much as id like that, I prefer to drive it as a special treat. NEVER in the rain, snow, ice etc. I don't even have a hard top and never will. Useless to me. I've owned a 73 450 SL for 30 plus years and used it only storage ! It's the open driving experience that's I crave !

Ok, its Halloween ! I thought perhaps someone from the spirit world might know where Craig and the ghost of his Sl may be lurking ! Perhaps we need a seance or maybe a Ouija board ? Evil spirits I implore you ! breath some life in that poor Soulless undead 600SL !
