Still doing the brakes - quite a few hours gone into this now Copper pattern and finished Kunifer M/C to front junction is complete and M/C to rear is 60% completed - Tomorrow I should get them both finished with clips. Once that's all done I can start bonding the panels on.

Collected the paint today - may even use some of it on the cylinder head tomorrow and see if its a suitable colour.
Struck a few lines off the to-do list and made a start on the wiring. Just one last panel to bond and rivet which will be done after I have drilled a few holes for electrics cable management.
A small amount of time today placing orders for nuts, bolts and engine parts. Having placed all of the various fasteners in a larger bucket when I stripped the car there are hardly any that are the same length or the same brand even though there are only 4 sizes of M8 that keep most of the car together !
Photo's tomorrow

So, what did I manage today? The tunnel top panel got bonded on. Tested for wiring fit. And then bonded Made the loom good with some new sleeving and clipped it in - 8 cores to the rear should be more than enough Sides Brakes L/Ind R/Ind Fuel sender Fuel pump Earth And a spare by the looks of it Cut the slot for the handbrake No painting, so that's on the agenda for tomorrow as is a trip up the barn to collect a few more parts

Parts have arrived - a box from Burton containing +60 1300 pistons plus a load of gaskets, and a package from Namrick with the required nuts and bolts. The bracket that holds the handbrake cable and the rear axle flexi needed some tidying up as it looked but after a bit I deceided that the design was all wrong and inherently weak for the weight of the thing so I have made a start on a new stronger lighter version. And made a start on measuring up for the roll over hoop

Started to have a look at the wiring - Using a loom from another project to lay out the best route and make notes of what needs to be included. I will just have one loom that will run 3/4 of the way around the "U" of the engine bay. I will need to mount items like the ignition coil, horn and the fan switch relay. Whilst also trying to keep them out of the way and tidy.
