Cool, Thanks.
 
Do you know what the hole in the dash is standard?
 
My Tacho has packed it in and am thinking of going aftermarket.  I know your is a speedo but I think the holes are the same size.
 
Cheers

Dunno. Must be close to 100mm. It aint round though hence the holesaw.

Engine is in. Cam and tappets still need fine tuning so the cam cover is off. Twin webers and dizzy fitted. Extractors should go on next week. They've been off being measured up and copied. If anyone is chasing a set, send me a PM but they're NOT cheap.
 
Still trying to figure out where everything in the engine bay will end up being mounted. Fun fun.

Did a full electrical test today. 95% of stuff is working. Three gauge lights aren't lighting up along with some very minor earthing issues with two new circuits. Very happy.
 
Other stuff done. Radiator fitted. Oil cooler fitted and plumbed. Overflow bottle fitted and plumbed. Thermo fan and controller fitted. Fuel lines complete to engine bay. Pressure reg fitted. Clutch cable fitted.
 
Still to do. Washer bottle and washer jets. Catch can and plumbing. Coil. Fit exhaust. Plumb brakes. Install hydra hand brake. Plus more things i'm sure.

Worked out the earthing glitches today. Plumbed in the oil pressure gauge in the console. Tested the spot lights.
