A late start for me today. There wasn’t a whole lot to get done but, seen as I didn’t get everything finished off today, there must have been more than I thought!
We got the front lighting wires insulated and tucked away into their final places. I got a local fabricator to chop down an allen key for me so I could finally torque up the left side engine mount. I cleared out all the empty boxes and rubbish from the garage.
We checked all the lighting was present and correct.
I also went through the IVA checklist as far as I could work it out! We hit some snags though… firstly we found that the earth lead for the fuel tank that had been fitted wasn’t nearly long enough to reach the bolt that it has to attach to. There were loads of small cap covers for bolts that I have no idea where where they go.
A few more trim items were glued into place.
I also purchased som brake cleaner to get rid of some of the gunk that was on my discs when they arrived.
I also managed the near impossible task of attaching the wing mirrors to their SVA stalks and got them on the car. The rear view mirror also went in place.
Tomorrow, I want to get the car on its wheels and finished off to the level that I want to get it to Caterham. This is easily within reach and will just require a little focus!
