Thanks Jimmy
Now time to start plumbing.
The radiator bleed pipe fitted and header tank over flow in progress.
As I mounted the carbon canister in the L/H sill (trying to keep the rear bulkhead as clean as possible) had to run the fuel tank vent lines up the bulkhead then back into the sill.
High pressure fuel filter and reg mounted.
Fuel crossover pipes fitted.
Clutch and brake tubes fitted.

Living in the tropics, aircon is right next to fuel in the importance scale....
So I modified a std 4 outlet cover and left the 2 outer holes for the eyeball vents. Cut the largest hole between them and made a 90 deg duct to dump the air into the foot well / seat base area.
Can confirm that it works a treat. The outside temps are up to 39C and humidity is going through the roof.

Time to wire the car.
First thing was to design all the circuits, then buy a mountain of wire and connectors etc.
The relay and fuse box was assembled and wired.
Tried to keep it simple, but it gets away from you.

Pedals finished and installed.
To give me more clearance from the throttle cable, made an angle drive so the cable pulled in line with the chassis wall and not with the pedal axis.
Glued 3mm insertion rubber to the brake and clutch pedal for the certifying engineer.
Still looking for very small expanded S/S mesh to replace the rubber.
