Rear Lights and other little jobs


Still undecided what to do about the body not fitting well and so don't want to start fixing it until we have thought that one through a little.

So we got on with some other bits and pieces. We p-clipped the little cooling pipe to the car just over the footwells - using self tappers.

Tightened up the earthing strap from the ECU and fixed the ECU plate at the front with cable ties (not the most elegant solution but it works fine). Then we got on with the rear lights. We had mad a little start on this earlier in the week. Getting them positioned nicely is a real pig, there are no nice sharp lines to measure from (the top and bottom of the body curve away) and even a spirit level won't help much as the car is on stands and not very level.

Most of the drilling done with masking tape and by eye. Think we messed up the fog lamp slightly (not shown in these pics). Will have to play around with that to improve.

Also test fitted one of the harnesses to see what fixings it would use as will need to know for fitting the boot box.
