A few minor updates

Both seats are now positioned and secured.







I then made the executive decision to go a different direction with the stalks and switches.

Firstly I removed the stalks








Then we fabricated a bracket and welded it into place in my optimum position.







These are the little babies that are to replace the stalks.  :D





And then prepping the dash to accept them.











And the finished article (they look a bit :censored::censored::censored::censored:ed but the panel isn\'t straight and they ARE level)

Right, a few more things done tonight

Started working on the gearstick, for my new seat position I wanted it lower so we cut the stick down, re-drilled out the
shaft and tapped the hole.  oooh err missus !!











Sicknote

Then we made a temporary plate for the assembly to sit on so that we know all the bolt positions (new nice plate to be
made next week). Just a few small mods to be made to perfect the system and the look, then thats another job out of the way.  :D











Oh... and this is my new indicator stalk !!!  :thumbsup:



Sicknote

And the last thing done tonight was modding the front lights to accept the HID split beam lamps.

Awesome progress :D

Does that mean the headlights will just be the smaller front lights ?? Cool idea !

Thanks fella, yep thats right, we\'re just condensing ALL the lights into the teardrops, the pop up covers will still
remain to make it look like nothings changed but we needed the space under them for all the cooling going on !!  :mmmm

Righty, First tonight was to position the extinguisher bottle and prep the gearstick to accept the Shimano neutral release








Then started the fabrication for the exhaust covers.











And voila, these are the sides that will be welded down and the cover will be bolted to them when we make them tomorrow.





Sicknote

And another bigish job was to fabricate the gearbox tunnel cover.... more cardboard !!  :D








I\'ve cut a lot of the process out but here was the end result and the almost completed c0ckpit including the transfer of
the handbrake lever to the other side.  :thumbsup:

OK, tonight was dedicated to the exhaust cans cover, positioning the dash to accept the gear select lever and
the passenger footwell floor (no pics yet).

The Exhaust cover


















And the dash work to accept the gear selector lever.





And the almost finished article with all the controls now in place.  :)





And a slightly out of focus one from the other side.
