Steady progress yesterday and today.
Fitted rear and front wings, for now without wing piping.
Refitted the doors for the last time hopefully. Though still to nickel plate
the door catches.

Slotted the glazing into the new nickel plated frame.

Neil gave me some POR—15 to neutralise any rust in the petrol tank
and sure enough it did a great job. Once rinsed out with clean boiling water
The interior looks to be a nice shade of grey metal.

Installed almost all of the wiring on the dash and bulkhead and
to both 6 way junction boxes on the front flitch plates.

From there leads can connect to the side lamps, headlamps( dip and head), plus indicator feeds
, taking care to provide a directly wired Earth to all lamps( nearly all LED’s.)

Tested the sidelight / tail light circuits with a power lead directly from the battery,
but failed to get them to come on from the dash switch, will need to have close look at my connections!
Plus wondering if the internals of the Lucas control panel needs its internal contacts cleaned?

Once the wiring is fully debugged I can finally fit the petrol tank for the last time.

The SU carb is also ready to fit, but I’ve still to make a new exhaust downpipe,
possibly the last thing I’ve got to make before starting the engine.

The rad shell is still not plated but have been promised it for early June.

So may jury rig the radiator next week and try to fire up the engine!!
