Over the last two weeks I've tackled a rather random bunch of tasks some of which have taken a frustrating long time to get right but that's how it goes some times.
So in not necessarily the order I did them....
Accelerator cable.
The BMW accelerator cable didn't suit the Ford pedal so I cut the hook off.

To terminate the end of the cable I used this little clamp. It is very secure but I put a blob of epoxy glue on it before tightening it as it is so difficult to get to and I didn't want it falling off.

I could then install the Accelerator pedal.
Another Houdini act!!

Steering column.
I've reinstalled the steering column and a Ford steering wheel that is IVA compliant.

After years of searching I found a new lower coupling on ebay.

I couldn't figure out why but, the mounting holes in the intermediate shaft needed to be re-drilled to get the alignment between the steering wheel and the steering rack correct.(I spent half a day trying figure out why and then decided to drill the new holes and move on
)

Windscreen wipers.
I've mounted the wiper wheelboxes but the wiper motor drive tubes that came installed in the car were made of copper which is not recommended as the copper wears and can be noisy. I've ordered some new steel ones from SVC.

It's nice to install the first small bits of chrome bling.

Main wiring loom.
I've laid in the Sabre main wiring loom. The crimps in the white connector from the ignition switch, in the center of this picture, were very poor and I had to remake them.

Fuse box in the center of this picture. (BTW that's a polythene bag over the bodywork!!)

Loads more to do but all these small steps gets me nearer the end goal.
