More Alpine Progress

I started by spotting I'd trapped the wires in the steering column cover - no wonder it did not fit 100% when I did late yesterday. Points to being knackered after all this and sloppy.

However that was almost easy to fix and no damage done I hope.

I then got distracted with the temperature gauge. I decided to put a couple of grommets in where the wires go through the bulkhead. Then I stuck the temperature probe to the back of the block which is as far as the wires would realistically reach. Of course I should do it properly, but I think time is running against me. Then Nigel popped round with the van so I dropped him back home before lunch.

PM the rain came back - yes even more heavy rain - but I finished the housing for the substitute temperature gauge which did not look too add.

I'd left a gap to one side for the Smith gauge I intend to try to make, but again later. I then set to work on vacuuming the car and refitting carpets. I decided to cut new under carpets but they are a bit thick.

Time will tell, but at least I got most of them down before it was time to stop. The car is looking better now and I'll finish them off and do the door tomorrow.
