Thank you all for kind words and encouragement.
Had an excellent morning, went for my first ever ride in a cobra (other than a squirt around the block),
How cool..... literally how cool? it was freezing, but I did not really care and it was over far to soon.
Inspired me to get on with some work on mine.
Had a surprise last week end, almost two years in the making my dash, wiring loom and wiper motor assembly arrived from AP. I got so carried away I almost for got to take some photos.
After spending an hour or so just looking at it figuring out which end goes where I started to feed it through the fire wall holes
This is just starting out, the bulk of the loom is on the cockpit floor and the rear loom is stretched out on the floor
This is the mess that awaits me under the dash
A day of bending into positions I didn't relise I could get into
a few P- clips and cable ties, it is looking almost finished , a few more connectors for the demisters and steering lock to do
Put some water proof connectors on the tail light assemblies
Finally plugged the dash in and bolted it in place
seems easy but it has taken two full days to get it very close to hooking up a battery to see if anything works.
As well as crimping the connectors I am soldering everything as well,
I am trying to "hide" all of the wiring the best I can, instead of riveting the loom on the side of the chassis rail, I have put in inside the sill panel. ( absolute pain if it has to come out again)
That meant some wires were to short and other to long, so a bit of extra work.
I am pretty happy with the results "a blind man would be glad to see it"
Waiting on some parts from OS then it is on to working on that big iron thingy under the lid in the front
Cheers
