Snag list part 1

 Yep, I'm officially on the last few steps now, and the biggest 'job' left is to go over all of the other jobs and make sure I've not missed anything. This will still take a while as I reckon there's all sorts just waiting for me. Here's a few examples that I've completed today;

• The battery isolator switch is installed, and now the battery can be properly secured. I'm happy with the routing of the big cables, they go behind the battery but need to stay loose so I can pull the battery in and our. It's not affecting the security of the battery, and I still printed and used battery connector caps. 
• The spark plug ignitor and some random resistor are now both bolted to the bulkhead. That was a fun job, I was just going to screw them into the metal but then realised the ends of those screws end up in the passenger compartment!! If Mr IVA is really fussy about being able to get to them, they're as pointy as they can be. I replaced them with regular nuts and bolts, now the only thing visible in the cabin are bolt heads. And probably just to be absolutely sure I'll print out some caps and stick them on.
• Similarly I've bolted down one fuse box and one relay. The flasher relay still needs some sort of bracket before it can be bolted down, and the other fuse box would block access to it so I have that to do.
• I've replaced many of the temporary loom ties with zip ties so again everything is a lot more 'fixed' now. Of course, I also found a broken joint. In this case it was with the expensive connector blocks I bought for the front and back. The cheap Chinese ones seem to be ok, but the expensive ones are causing me trouble. Ah well, live and learn and all that. I've still got a few more loom clips to secure, but they're inside the passenger side wall and I need the car out to get to them.

As for things 'yet to do', I have the following that I know about;

• One of the rear lights isn't behaving itself, I might need to print a new housing for it. The bulb doesn't stay in place, it's another issue where the bulb 'nubbins' aren't pronounced enough to fit in a plastic holder. Having said that, perhaps the new printer will be able to offer me tighter tolerances. I'll have to see where I left the design, hopefully it's not in Fusion because it's been a PITA to get things out of there and into Onshape. 
• The fuel pump wiring needs extending and repairing.
• Seats and seat belts need bolting down. 
• I have a few 3D prints in progress for wiring clips and holders, they'll need screwing on to the firewall so the loom is secure. 
• One last scan of the cabin to make sure it's all compliant
• Painting (again!)
• Edge trim in the cabin and on the wheel fenders
• Front suspension castle nuts need split pins. I doubt I can remember where the proper ones are, but I've got a box of split pins that will do nicely. I just need to find the box.
• Boot lock. 
• Test drive... Yeah OK, probably getting a bit ahead of myself there!
