Only want the bare essentials on the dash, the fuel gauge is going elsewhere.

Been doing lots of fiddly time consuming stuff lately. Made a new pedal to Z bar rod from moly tube & 3/8" rod ends, a nicer, stronger and smoother working piece that weighs about the same. Z bar and fork rod still to do. Stripped, modified and lightened the pedal box. Clutch pedal now has an adjustable stop at the floor. The monster over centre spring is gone to be replaced with something much lighter as I will most likely be using a diaphragm clutch.

That is slightly worrying, Mossy; most people think of someone like Megan Fox......I think you are taking your hero worship a bit too far

Was going to use silver paint but I'd run out so gold it is. Won't see it unless you are poking about under the dash, and it'll make things easier to see if you are so it's all good. More bits to fabricate and modify next week. Gavin! where on earth have you been?
