Electrical progress. Battery and main cables laid along with ground stud to 3/8" chassis point, as well as switch wired (1/0 welding cable).  |

Don't know about your regs, but in the UK you'd have to cover the + terminal and connector with an insulating boot or similar.
Love that bracket, home made?

Ebay. I plan to cover the terminal with a boot eventually. I put studded marine terminals on it for ease of connect/disconnect, they're a little larger then automotive ones

It's looking good dietcoke. Appreciate the pictures of the radiator mounts. I think your right 4 upper mounts may actually be a better solution for mounting the radiator to the front of the tubes. But the lower mount can be made to work.

This is what four uppers looks like, certainly a little cleaner. I made it work with what I had. You might could request four uppers instead of two and two.  |

That's both XP5 and XP4. He was just using the picture as an example.

Been very busy and thus unmotivated after long days at work. I did get the new slave cylinder assembled with remote bleeder, and now have a working clutch. Will probably reinstall the trans mount and get on the brakes tomorrow.

Will probably reinstall the trans mount and get on the brakes tomorrow. I am right there with you. Work has been killing me lately with projects so I don't get to go out in the shop much. I am taking a week off next month to try and get some things done on the car. But you are making good progress and the car is looking really good. |

Brakes are bled and pedal is nice and firm, got main electrical finished, alternator and starter wired, starter tied into 12v bus bar I added to the engine bay. Alt is on its own 4awg circuit to cutoff switch. Wires are mounted in the tunnel and tucked out of the way. I'll get some pictures of it all tomorrow. Next project is wiring in the computer harness to the main electrical circuit, and making harnesses for the fans, ignition, and fuel pump. With a little motivation I might make my first trip up the road next week

What are the clamps you are using for the windshield? I may have to adapt a taller version from your and Greg's design. Any reason you both went with a low one vs. full height?

For me, I made it as short as the state would allow. Rather not have one at all honestly but it looks cool so its a compromise.
