continuing to plumb

A total of around 8 man/woman hours on Saturday, and Sunday, combined with some questions on the wscc website (thanks to Paul and others for their help) has allowed us to make some progress. It all seems rather slow at the moment, but we are at least moving in the right direction. We have now fitted the hydraulic clutch cable, a 2 minute job if you know what you are doing, otherwise an hour and a question to Mark at Westfield.

We spent most of the time on two things this weekend: -

Firstly we (well Chrissy actually) relabelled all of the wiring loom from the new diagrams we now have (one found in the kit, one emailed from Mark at Westfield) this means identifying each connector and there are lots and lots of them.

Though we are still short of diagrams for the bit of the harness that runs to the starter motor.

Secondly, we have been continuing to plumb in all of the fuel cables. This afternoon that meant around three hours for three riveted P-clips into the chassis! We had to take one side of the rear suspension apart to get drill access and put it back together again, also there is lots of fiddling with the convoluted plastic pipe protector and lots of time spent complaining that knee joints don't work very well any more (Tim)
