Right, bit slow on the updates, but the above suggestion of "Just fit a bigger bloody shift light and leave it off" got decided about 2 days after, one trip to autosport and a chat to Alex and parted with some pennies a few days later.
So, there's a dashboard with an NT-dash sized hole in it sat waiting for one to arrive as soon as they actually get stock.
Bit of a waste on the new housing front though, ah well!
Whilst at Autosport we had a wander over to Demon Tweeks, had a look over the shiny parts and got pretty horny...
Prototype frame for the new fiddle brakes got knocked up to use a template:
All the hydraulic hoses have gone in, and the suspension interconnects, etc. The hoses are too sexy though so I've had to pixellate them as it's pre-watershed:
Also, bought some woven charcoal and chewing gum...
To finish the wings off with.
Front mudguard mounts have been altered/lightened and shifted around/down to make them a little less parachute-like and follow the arc of the longer front arms better but I don't have a picture atm.
Pretty much just waiting on the digi-dash arriving so I can rewire the dashboard - it needs the fusebox, etc, moving, so I've made a warning panel to go in it's place to indicate a blown fuse:
Once the NT's here it can go off for blasting and painting!
