Fitted my egr blocking plate, Dawes valve and needle valve. That I got from mudski months ago and have been putting of doing. Must say only took an hour to get the hole lot in, such an easy job.
Now to fine tune it all tomorrow.
Started the rims.

I assume you aren't using those tyres Kal? Overspray is a biatch..Quote:

Reckon I did now, it was coming from the entry points in the firewall where all the wiring goes in, well, we all my wiring went, was jammed, in. Its all out and a new entry point has been done for the rhs so far. I used a copper joiner in rubber bung through the firewall...

Then I added a length of convoluted tubing to it. Not split tubing as this would defeat the purpose.
Attachment 35944
I can now run all my electrical cabling down this tube and into the cabin. And its waterproof.
Next was to mount four of the six relays in the relay box and pre wire it.
Attachment 35945Attachment 35946
Now to mount it and the wiring fun begins. Then I do the left side. But I have literally removed every wire from the front seats to the bull bar that was not OEM. I think i may have bitten off a lot more than I can chew here. So I need to atleast put the drivers seat back in and get the indicator and wiper stalks back on so it can be driven.
Plus I wired in and mounted the electronic brake controller too in my hidden glove box. No where else to put it....
Attachment 35947
PLUS I got a hold of some flat 7core wire and made up a new trailer lead that can be tucked away in where the jack goes in the back. The last trailer plug, even though it was totally seal, still managed to fill up with mud. No pics on the lead.
Fitted some projecta battery terminals and ditched the crappy stock ones that didnt want to tighten enough.
AND ORDERD A HARRIS HARDNOSE:clapping::049::animierte-smilies-t:bananarock:
Lasts longer than tyre shine!!!!!!!!Quote:

Blaa!!! To much to do!!!Quote:
