Yesterday - Part 2:
Eventually I had zip tied the bulk of the loom into position, ready to fit the centre section.
Hopefully the use of the heat reflective foil will protect this main section of the loom from being "cooked" when the heater is on.
But before I could fit the central dash section in place, I had to fix the heater control panel that sits below it into position first.
The centre section was the easiest bit of wiring I did all day.
Although fitting the panel itself turned into a complete pain, as the last screw would just not line up.
So I had to remove all the other screws and start again from the troublesome corner and it worked this time.
( Excuse the run of poor photos I seem to have. )
So now all three sections of the dash board were in position.
And before I packed up for the night, I couldn't resist pushing the steering wheel into place.
I just hope everything works as well as it looks.

Dashboard - "To Do" List:
- Fix the mis-matched ignition wiring connection.
- Sort out the wiring for the heater fan speed switch.
- Connect the heater control dial to panel and attached to control value.
- Seal off space for wiper controls on steering column cover & re-fit.
- Attach end of choke cable to carbs.
- Plumb the heater into engine (OK, technically, that is on the bulkhead list, but is kind of related).

With a bit of luck I will get the chance to do some of these jobs later today.
Cheers, Paul.
