Drawing pictures helps me make sense of things :egeek: It will hopefully help me remember when its time to wire it into the car.
It's been a bit of a head scratcher that's for sure.

Now its back to the fuel tank. Was hoping to do a height measurement today, but I can't for the life of me work out where the rear bump stops have gone.

Citric acid is great for cleaning up parts - until you forget to take them out. Pot metal rocker cover decorative nuts.... into the bin!

Last job on the intermittant wipers. 3D printed box to mount on firewall/center console. Maxtronic, my circuit and relay all stuffed in the box. Wired it up so if the box has a failure, it can be removed without changing the functionality of the 2 speed wipers.

If you’ve really got your heart set on using those nuts, let me know. I think I’ve got a set here you are welcome to. They are packed under the house, so would need to remind me once the shed is built.

Cheers,

That’s a bummer…… how long were they in the citric acid?
A day in the shed beats a day at work!

Had the same issue with the die cast bars on an FB cowl vent.
