Hi Craig,

That wiring would give you nightmares, bet you'll never look at a bowl of spaghetti the same way again  Grin.
On a more serious note, the FC is looking really nice. You must be happy with the progress.

JB

Finally had a crack at getting a video done. So here it is but not real long and had to jump the fuel pump relay to get it started.

My daughter got it on her iphone but came in at 93MB. I have reduced it down to around 13MB.



Will do better once I work out how to upload a little smaller file.

Cheers

 Grin Grin Grin I recognize that sound!!! It's awesome!!!
How do we get rid of the crackle when you back off? Just an electronic tune up?
Haven't worked this one out yet.

It's looking great Craig


I like the Wilsonia gauge and the way you have re purposed the old Fuel guage location to keep the original look

Not to mention the under dash gauge carrier and the speakers, very clever

Thanks Gary & John

I think I would prefer the wiring to trying to add photos to the post.
Hopefully the mandatory run around the block will not be to far away

Thanks for the kind words

Craig it does look fantastic. Bretts little trick with the hazard light is one of my favourites - next to the headlight speaker inserts.

Did you do anything with the generator gauge on the wilsonia?

I have not ewired it up as not sure with running the 85amp Alternator whether there will be any damage.

The temp light is actually my charge light but well keep that a secret Grin Grin

I chose the mixing bowls as they were easier to come by for the speakers.

Hopefully up town next week to get the full exhaust fitted.

Cheers

NES

Things do look different through rose coloured beer goggles  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
You have finally seen the light.  Grin Grin Grin
You won't be dissappointed. I will keep chasing to see whether there is someone who can make a set of those extractors.

It is a shame Rod gave it away. He is a Manual Arts Teacher now.

I do know that you need a high torque starter motor as it is smaller and allows for a neater fit on the pax side.

All the best
