Well you have to be able to see 50% of the indicator reflector lens at 80˚ from the direction of travel of the car on the indicators' side and 20˚ to the opposite side.



All light wiring for me is now done. One trunk of 16mm split conduit takes the wiring from the steering column to the fuse box and then back out to the front, back and clocks. Worked out quite neat but have had to order more 16mm p-clips, some ballast resistors for the led side repeaters and some 6mm split conduit to finish it off. I put the pump wiring into this conduit to the rear. When the bodywork is on I'll finish the wiring at the rear. I'll take some photos of the wiring when it's finished.

As it stands currently, flattened the battery leaving the ignition on!



I've made a start on the side panels for the tunnel and ordered some foam and black vinyl. I also have some carbon fibre look ABS plastic for the dash. Can't really get my head around the fact I'm thinking about interior trim! Weird! Am I really that far along? I must of missed something out!
