Seat final fit

 The seats are supposed to have a 10mm spacer at the front to lift the rake up a bit and becomes very fiddley to fit came up with the idea to weld 8mm washers together to give me the 10mm and use a 6mm washer for the last one so I could tap it out 8mm 

This held the bolts in place and made fitting the seat a lot easier 

washers welded 

this made fitting the seats a lot easier because the washers held the bolts captive ,tightened up and left 2 threads showing for IVA .

Oil change

 I kept the original running in oil in the engine and they recommend changing after 30 mins running .Figured i had easily done that so changed the oil 

Put fully synthetic Dex2 5W30  and changed the filter as well surprisingly couldn't get the filter form any local suppliers so ebay to the rescue  .

No pics as too messy a job but very straight forward .need to change again at 1000 miles .

undertrays

 Now the dash is in and all the gauges are also in speedo was really fiddly time to final fit the undertrays 

I have quite a lot going on with the trays as on the left one i have a aux socket and switch  floor light speaker and a switch for the usb charge point behind the seat all fused from a cable from the battery 

a lot going on 

Try as i might i couldnt get it to fit and line up ,i knew it fitted as i had already pre drilled the holes in the frame for the self tappers . 

After a lot of cursing it transpired that i had fitted the USB switch ( just in the picure on the left ) right in the way of the dash bar .

I moved this and covered the hole with plastic and voila fits .

Fitted note the whoops hole 

Reflectors

 Realised that i needed reflectors to pass the IVA and didnt want the expense of buying another 2 standoffs so copied another users blog and made a bracket to support the reflector off the indicator s ,a bit of a fiddle to make but hopefully worth it 

found a piece of stainless hanging around 

The slot was there on the metal i acquired but will be hidden by the reflector ,once i got the indicator to fit I spaced the refector with a 5mm drill spryed black and fitted .

look better than i thought might even leave them of after IVA 

 

Ops propshaft

 Completely forgot to grease the propshaft before the body went on and kept putting it off , Bribed Steve with a Subway and he "volunteered!" to grease it ,apparently not easy according to the swear words  sorry Steve !
