Bank holiday tasks

 I'm not sure what significance the bank holiday has, but I needed a page title. More tasks done off the snag list;

  • The wiring on the bulkhead is now secure with the 3D printed brackets.
  • The wiring down the side to the back is now properly secured, as is the boot wiring.
  • The fuel relay wiring has been extended, rewrapped and installed correctly. 
  • (The fuel tank is now properly bolted in, that was another snag I missed)
  • The passenger seat and seat belt are bolted in. That ended up being the last job of the day as it was such a horrible job I didn't want to carry on!
And more jobs added to the snag list;
  • One more earth lead needs a fixing.
  • The brake fluid wiring needs fixing. I'm not sure about this one, it's a bit 'dangling in free air' so I need to figure something out.
  • Wiring going from the fuse boxes to the dash needs bracing. Admittedly this was an old job but what I had planned isn't going to work. 
  • Why doesn't my horn work?
  • New tyres. Not for me to do but still a job to do.
  • Bleed the brakes more. I'm not happy with the pedal, even though it's not assisted I still expect there to be more braking effort. The clutch pedal was ok but that's a much simpler circuit.
I also managed to get the car moving, which means the clutch is alive. Unfortunately the steering rack limiter are far too aggressive, I was doing fifteen point turns where any other car would do it in three. So they need to come off. I also need to check the self centring, it needs a bit more space to test it.
