Possible for a little water to get in mainly windscreen leaking in heavy rain and hosing off Stephen. It's not much. After I massage the tunnel I wil scrub the floor and marinate with thisImage

Finally got the invoice from Roger. Shift rods are at the platers then it can be dispatched. He charged me his old price because it took so long apparently. $1100 which seems pretty good since rares kits are $500 and then the shift conversion, rods etc. on top.

I haven’t bothered putting the floor mat back in since drying out after the Stansbury trip, still I won’t go hoiking the donk quite yet, just in case…….

Took a 35 minute phone call, but that included a lecture on lubrication and installation.

Yes Mick. If you drive in the rain be prepared to pull out the flooring and dry things out, which is why I left the floor un-insulated, and the rear tray removable. :thumbsup:

Ixperimenting with tachometer positioning. I lashed out at Willunga swap on a $10 Sunpro. It is the Super tach II model, not mucking around here.Image
Knee clearence seems ok and can see with shifter in top but have to look down a bit. Not as bad as a HK GTS I suppose. It won't mount to column higher up with the column shift. On r adjacent the speaker grille would be an option less subtle although I mount the phone there currently.

I wonder if there is a tachometer app for the phone..... thinks
