The steering center support came from McMasters. The sliding clamp was located where I thought it would have something solid to run into, short of running into me. |
This was a trial fit of the wings and nose. I used the original front wings instead of the new ones. The originals are heavier, but have a nicer radius on the edges. |
All the fiberglass parts are now at the body shop being sprayed BRG. |
Attempting to decipher the wiring harness that came with the car |
This is for a Seven with the generator on the right. It is also wired for Right-Spot / Left-Fog lighting, and no turn signals. I've decided to "roll my own" using donor Lucas wiring harnesses for materials rather than cobble up this one. (Does anyone want it?) |
The engine has oil pressure. 40 psi at cranking speed. That's not bad. I expect that the Bumble Bee wire and Champion connectors will add at least 30 Hp. |
I raised the upper tube 1/2", so now the tach and speedometer fit. This was a first stab at laying out the instruments and switches. My spacing on the switches was off. I'll do it over. |
I'm still trying to find something that will remove the protective film from some of the parts. This paint remover sat for over 24 hours without any discernable effect. |
