At least it's an easy fix, and you didn't burn out the entire wiring loom. Will be good to see it on the road. Cheers Aaron |

i know how you feel. just found out that the oil pressure guage in the car has some weird thread that does not mate to any of the adapters in the line kit i got this morning, and i still have to put the exhaust on, do up the driveshaft joints and hope that i have wired it back up properly, then wind the hilos at the front down, adjust the brakes, maybe need to redo the clutch hydraulics, possible bastard leak around the temp sensor to seal. If i have it all done and it works, i'll drop around to have a look at yours on the test drive ![]() michael |
