It's Inhumane in That Garage . . .

Well into the 100s today.

Did all the little tidying up jobs today to get it ready to fire up - all I need to do is to make the connections in the dash and turn the key (supposedly).

Finally got around to crimping up the connectors Westfield sent me for the handbrake - seems to do the job quite nicely:

What Westfield supplied and the crimping tool I found at Amazon 

The final result with the heat shrink on connects quite securely onto the pins in the switch.

Finished terminals

Also wanted to connect the inertia switch (switches off the fuel pump should you end upside down in a cactus), but quickly realized that the plug does not fit the switch and there is nothing in the kit that will - question for Westfield in the morning.

I guess I will just have to be careful not to drive upside down for the time being.






Added the ring terminals for the fuel pump and did all the plumbing for the fuel system. Will have to redo, should I ever get my swirl pot (will need to add the low pressure fuel pump, the pot and reroute the flexible fuel lines). Also fitted the vent for the fuel tank and filled the diff with oil, along with tidying up of various wires at the back.

Decided to clear some space on my shelves and fit the cycle wing brackets, only to find that they need some sort of spacers on the top mounts:

Space needs filling with some spacers

Instead of the usual approach and just complaining to Westfield, I rummaged around in the ever-dwindling supply of small plastic bags with parts in (it gets easier the fewer there are).








I found these sitting in a bag with some bullet connectors and they seem to do the job - there are four, and that is the number needed, and they seem to be the right length, so on they go. They are chamfered and the chamfer fits the hole on the back of the brakes where the brackets screw on. Basically, I can't think where else they may go:












In fact, they fit perfectly, so they must be the right items:

Now it's really starting to get there - even put the air intake on and did a trial fit of the cycle wings:

Perfect color match to the valve cover

 Or I could go with he carbon fibre look:

There really isn't much else, other than the body, to do. I suppose I could have a go at fitting the seats in the meantime. Will bond the big head bolts to the cycle wings during the week (so I can get an invisible attachment of the cycle wings, instead of having bolts show through) - will need to replace the M6 nylock nuts I stole to fit the rear light assemblies though . . .
