Dashed if I know

It's almost done. The arcane art of working out how to wire it in comes next. None of the switches have wiring diagrams with them but I'm sure I can figure it out after all, I'm not doing much different to how it was to begin with. The small cut-out in the bottom middle takes care of providing more room for my knuckles when changing gear.

When it's in I can fit the choke between the speedo and multi-dial. The ignition goes in the lower hole, or I fit a start button instead, hiding the ignition elsewhere. My mind is not yet made up. Captive screws are secreted under the vinyl with wing nuts to go on the back after it's passed through the lip on the scuttle.

Other than this, we've (my willing helper) and I took the fuel tank out yesterday to remedy a rubbing problem. Whoever fitted it put the fuel outlet pipe so close to the Panhard rod that locates the axle that it's clearly been chafing. Nobody likes chafing. Having replaced the dodgy length of fuel pipe, the tank went back in, new foam strips and re-bent stainless straps secured it firmly. I'll pop round to CBS in the morning for some flexible filler pipe as what I had before was too stiff and didn't really fit well. Then we can get on to the lovely wiring.
