Boot box hacking complete


Just a couple of hours in the garage this weekend.

We did however finish fettling out the four holes in the boot box that allow the eye bolts and their spacers to fit through for the harness.

This job seems to have taken forever.

We also did a few other little jobs, and ordered yet another tool a tap and die set that contains an M10 fine pitch (1.25) tap which seems to be what is needed to clean out the threads in the bushes that the eyebolts go into.

Immediate things to do list as follows -

2. Fix Fog Light
3. Fix fog light switch
5. Cable up the speedo
6. Scuttle wiring loom feed hole
7. Make the six remaining dashboard holes
8. Fabricate nine dashboard retaining sockets and glue on
12. check if we have front springs mounted properly
16. Drill out acess holes for rivnuts on chassis
17. Nail the body on
18. check hand brake cable routing / tighten handbrake
19. check windscreen washer pipe routing and cut hole in scuttle for it
28. Fix boot box on
32. find something to duct the breather hole at rear of engine
33. adjust throttle idle (how?)
35. fix leak at rear of engine
37. Change bolt on exhaust bracket for longer one
38. Check if there should be a grommet around the exahaust bracket bolt spacer collar
40. Reversing light wire connection?
42. Tighten front exhaust clip/check it's the right one
43. Get 10 x 1.25 tap for seat belt fixings
44 Get 10 x 1.0 8.8 65 or 70mm for exhaust
