New Build thread

[K4KEV]

Now to start sorting out the little odds and ends....like where to mount the header tank...decided on here

[K4KEV]

BIG job done yesterday .....although it still looks messy, it now looks something like a wiring loom ECU bolted in place, just have to make sure nothing is liable to chaff and the scuttlle will be permanently fixed followed by the dash....by the end of today it will feel like the end of the build will be well within sight

Thought I would use today to weed out any projections in the drivers footwell and get them covered with trim or split pipe before I fix the scuttle and I think I have got them all covered bar a few nut covers which I am waiting for

[K4KEV]

few things done today....managed to permanantly fit the scuttle, I have used double sided tape but left the upper paper on so as to become foam seating, I am retaining the possibility that I might need to remove it when it comes to a dash upgrade also have bolted up the firewall bulkhead to scuttle, thought I might as well fit the aeroscreen and edge it off,so that is done as well, all in all a productive day.....piccies

That's a lot of fixings probably pay dividend in the end although I wonder if the counter sunk ones may rip through the GRP.

I still have not fitted my AeroScree, I am convinced I will ripp it off by accident, mind you eveything is trial fitting to be taken off again anyway so I could just fit it up and take it off.

re the csk bolts.....it did cross my mind TT and I think you are right BUT if there was enough force applied to do that the scuttle and bulkhead then would be knackered anyway.
Dashboard in today and fastened up.

Decided to use the sierra repeaters up high on the scuttle. Dashboard now in and fixed....with a few bolts here and there
