Some of you know the inside is having a few changes and a freshen up. First to arrive is an all new bespoke made gauge pod for the dash top that aims 3 meter at the driver.
This has been made from the original clock housing so fitment is OEM.
View from my drivers seat.
My previous flocked carbon one is for sale.

A couple of my parts needed reflocking after 6 years but in fear of a poor colour match on the new VS old I decided to rip it all out and start again.
Also a nice opportunity to tidy wiring and run the extinguisher pipework with the dash now out of the way.

Spent the morning tidying up wiring and generally making parts cleaner to use and nicer to get to should I need to at a later date.
Also got the tank bolted up. I went to get a nice bulkhead fitting today which will allow me to do all the plumbing in the car while the dash is out. Then I can pop the scuttle panel off and plumb in the nozzles whenever I want.

So that's what goes on behind the dash. Like you say it's a good opportunity to tidy any wiring. Off topic - sorry. Did you get my PM about the cover?

Hi Mark,
Yeah I did, sorry it was on my list of things to do. Sounds lovely and right up my street however I don't really have the cash for it right now.
Did you have a definitive price in mind for it?
Do you have a link or photo at all?
Thanks

Fire suppression system now complete. Jets are hidden in the scuttle. One directed at the turbo side and one at my fuel side.
Can barely even notice its there.
Now spot the jets
Out of sight and hopefully never to be required.

Little update of the vent pod.
First design had the meters sunk in and all ran at a gradual slope bias the driver.
This looked okay but wasn't that great to look at from the drivers seat.
It looked like this.
So then I had the idea of pulling them further out and now individually bias to the driver.
So now we have prototype #2 and with indevidual hoods is shaping up like this.
I'll try this in the car before going any further but it should be much better to view.
If its going to be made bespoke, might as well get it right.
