I haven't really got any remarkable progress updates to take pics of. It's all been small stuff you cant see lately.

Here's a pic of the dash all wired up.

I fitted the fire extinguisher across the tunnel just under the dash (thanks leeroy). It's out of the way but it's still easy to get to and pull out.

I machined up a gear knob to match the hand brake lever. It's an odd shape but actually feels quite comfortable to grip. You can probably see the big red start button on the right side of the column.

I've also been trying out a bung I machined to go where the wiper control stalk went into the column. I've fitted the imobiliser indicator LED into it. It kind of looks like a pollished aluminum tit though so I don't know if I'll keep it . I might put a socket in it for a dash top mounted shift light that I can remove when not on the track.

I've still got to make a blanking plate for the hole I made in the dash for the heater switch. I think I'll put a 12V outlet on the dash too (might need to charge an I-Pod or a phone)



Cheers
