Tidying
electrics – I riveted a couple more cable tie bases to the passenger bulkhead
to fix the wiring loom to.
Decelerator cable – I made a couple of brackets, complete with cable tie bases) from a piece of aluminium angle and riveted them to the passenger bulkhead. I then cable tied the decelerator cable in position.
Brake
pressure switch – I crimped new spade connections onto the loom for the brake
pressure switch. I then cut some split
tube, put it over the cable and routed it behind the bracket to help keep it
tidy.
Throttle
– I replaced the grub screws in the throttle clevis with the pointed hex type
with a bit of Loctite for good measure.
I then found the right position of the nipple at the other end and
silver soldered it as I did with the clutch cable. The throttle cable was then installed,
routing the cable along the side of the engine cradle.
Fuel
line – I needed to make a bracket to which I could fix a P clip and hold the
fuel line out the way of the clutch mechanism.
Holes
for battery cables – I drilled two 16mm holes in the fiberglass bulkhead for
the positive and negative battery cables to pass through. I installed rubber grommets to ensure the
cables are protected.
Exhaust
– Next job was to trial fit the exhaust.
This is in preparation of getting the engine running with coolant in it,
hopefully tomorrow.
Immobiliser
light – I drilled an 8mm hole next to the ignition barrel for the immobilizer
warning LED.
Trial
fitting parts – Last job was to trial fit everything to see how it was
looking. I put in the interior rear and
tunnel panels, both seats, scuttle, dash, bulkhead and airbox.
