Jump on a plane and pop over by all means- I'll put the kettle on!
Wiring is a fun job- at least when its hot and sunny. Not so nice when its so cold that hands wont work and the insulation tape wont stick, although I'm using solder and heat shrink on every join. I'm really trying to keep the wires tidy and hidden out view- well at least no big messy runs over the engine. Carby engines are so much easier to keep tidy. Yeah- I have about 3 books and they are all slightly different- but I know the wires all by first name basis now
Do you get paranoid about fitting in wires that may be to small in section? Or try to keep the wires the same colour even though they will be hidden under tape? Just me then eh...
Other things done today- no wiring. My new drive shaft turned up. Made by Circletrack engineering in Christchurch- very nice job too!
And it fits perfect ;D
They also parted off a 50mm wide section of truck prop shaft- this I used for my driveshaft hoop. Saved me extra mucking about. This is in case the front universal fails- it stops the front end of the drive shaft dropping on the road and causing much grief. Its more recent certification requirement in NZ.
I have also killed one more saw on my very trusty well used £5 B &Q holesaw set by sawing a hole in my front panel for airflow to carb.
I'm actually amazed it cut through so well given its for wood! well not anymore- its now only good for cookie cutting...
I remounted my shiny painted fuel tank. We are now off to a proper hippy festival for 5 days so will just have to dream of Vivas while away.
