More wiring (boot)

 The number plate light gets its feed from a connector next to the fuel tank and goes in the boot at the hinge, I thought i could combine the two and place a boot light in the circuit  .

Started by glassing some wood each side of the boot and then a bit a 10mm heating pipe to hide the wires .


one side done ( hard to glass upside down ) 

Then moved on to the other side ,used p clips to secure the wire up to the light and all done


 

Handbrake

 Fitting the handbrake leather cover was next ,started off easy put a tie wrap on the top bit and then folded over to make it look right ,

Then i could see no way of securing the gaiter ,look at other blogs and they had a bracket which i haven't got, and figured that no one will see it anyway so .

brainstorming we came up with the idea that by welding the the 2 bolts on the handbrake could then use those to trap the gaiter .

bolts welded by my welder 

Then the gaiter could be fitted and using wad punches to make holes in the leather

Carpets next part

 Got a bit of time in the garage to day and was getting frustrated as the the next job was to fit the side carpet.

I was struggling with this because i didn't have enough power in my left arm to fit it and tuck it behind the pedal box .

Steve dropped in for a Tea and assisted ( well fitted it ) and it looks good Thanks Steve well worth the tea and the Subway .

Fitted the Stainless steel finishers to the windscreen stanchions as well these fit on the bottom button head so had to be careful not to disturb the washers behind it .Very  happy with how it all looks .

Drivers side 

always seems to be cables everywhere
