Photos of current tasks

 These are pictures from the snag list work, partly to show what I've been up to but also for Mr IVA if he needs more visibility of what I've done.

Propshaft installed and nicely clear of fuel and brake lines, with new bolts and nyloc nuts for the diff end;

Fuel system plumbed in. Most of the connections were barbed or had a flange, so those got one fuel clip. The main run from front to back was just on plain pipe though, so those got two clips each end. 

The routing left two fuel pipes going over the edge of the tank which I'm not happy about;

As I type I'm 3D printing a bracket that will hold the pipes in place and I'll glue it to the tank. 

Front suspension all bolted up and tested for full lock, the brake pipe looks like it's floating but actually it works as expected, staying away from any moving part. Hopefully I can get the same freedom of movement on the back;

Steering bolted up;

As mentioned earlier in the build, the use of an exhaust clamp and slotted bolt holes for the top portion of the steering assembly is intentional and carried over from the fixings on the original MX5. The collapsible section of the steering column is between the two, so it's to allow the whole thing to deform correctly. If the driver hits the steering wheel the upper bolts will disengage, and if the steering rack is pushed up from the front of the car, the clamp will allow it to slide. On top of that there is still the ten degree angle on the UJ which allows for deflection on impact.
