Wednesday 9th August

Finished putting the dash back in today along with the radio. I also fitted a GPS digital speedo as the normal speedo is partially obscured by the steering wheel. I just about covers the hole where the battery cut-off switch was, but I will 3D print a cover for the holes and then fit the digital speedo above that. I have 3D printed 3 black knobs that I have fitted with M6 bolts and I have put rivnuts in the shell to retain the rear of the hard top when it is fitted. I hoovered the carpets and the boot to get rid of all the glass fibre dust from my drilling over the last couple of days. I took it for a run to make sure everything was OK and it was. The only problem is that I have misplaced the hazard light switch top and so I need to find a new one from somewhere. Tomorrow I will give it a wash and a polish and if the weather is as forecast I will go to a local custom car meet tomorrow evening.

Now that the dash is easier to get out over the winter I will get the two aluminium panels powder coated black as they currently do create a bit of a reflective distraction.
