IVA work part five

 The front castle nuts now have pins;

And the wheel axle nuts have been 'staked';

Brake clamps worked really well and keep everything apart/together;

(I also turned the fuel pump connectors round here as I could see there was a potential chafing issue)

The handbrake cables still route against the chassis so I need a bracket or clamp to secure them;

I doubt a car could ever wear through a handbrake cable in this position as they're basically a steel tube, but having it fixed in place is a pretty simple task.

Steering wheel got de-radiused with a printed face;

I quite like it to be honest, the plastic just needed a bit of warmth to get the curves on either side and the bottom. It could probably do with a tiny bit of refinement on the top edge but it's IVA first, decorative second.

The boot lock got a split pin at the same time as the front axles;

That's not going to slide open anytime soon. 

One small but time-consuming job was reprinting the shells for the fog and reverse light to make sure the radii are ok;

So that's a few jobs ticked off, but of course I couldn't end the day without adding an extra job! The rear suspension adjustable bracket doesn't have enough exposed thread through the Nyloc nut. 

This is because these are still in 'adjustable' mode, hence the number of washers. It's the same inside the head of the suspension;

So really all I need to do is remove some of the washers so the bolt gets a proper distance through the nyloc. I'm thinking two or three washers will correspond to two or three exposed threads on the bolt. Only problem is that it's on the back of the car which doesn't have much space in the garage, I'd need to get it outside to fix it. Saturday is looking bright enough (albeit very cold!).
