Good Friday, good day on the car more like!
Passenger door card now in and the door lock taken into account.
Traced it out for the drivers side
I know not everything under the dash is done but I wanted to fit everything so I could work out where to mount the door pulls and get a feel for what it's like to sit in the seat once more
Dash isn't quite lined up so need to adjust the brackets it's sitting on next time I take it out. Switch panel is perfect though, won't hit it accidentally, can easily reach it with the harness on
and yes I spent a while in the drivers seat! Love how comfortable it is and I can still get in and out easily. It does feel weird with the door card in place as before you could rest on the roll cage and your arm would go into the door but I should have both hands on the wheel anyway.
Also couldn't help test fitting the windscreen
You can see the heating elements on the inside but not when you are looking through the glass. I've never totally unwrapped it before but the wires to the heating elements are at the bottom so should be easy to hide under the dash
Got around to test fitting the centre console too. All the main switches are in easy reach, but I think I now know what is going to the left had side of the digital dash - any switch I need quickly as there is a lot going on with all the circuit breakers! Plus it's not easy to see some of them
Last job was to start on the door pulls. Whole reason of fitting the seat in the first place - see where I could reach the pull strap and then work out how to mount it. Did the passenger side first once I'd figured it out
It's mounted to a 2mm aluminium plate that's fixed back to the door structrure rather than the door card. Less chance of some ham-fisted idiot pulling off the door card later on!
