Thanks for the comments, great now I can see the final hurdle.

Enjoyed doing the wiring, I got it all laid out on a diagram first, then laid each wire out on the car & added the wire colour to the diagram.

For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Grille fitted - happy with the look, can't fit the surrounds due to no lip on bonnet & my leather straps in the way - at least it clears the rad at the front



And fitted/wired up the TPS sensor



Had to modify bracket & redrill sensor locating holes in different place in order to fit this side of the carb, and sensor now works in reverse - to get the correct readings in MJ unit I had to reverse the 5v reference & ground wires so it reads correctly.

I think you guys right.! Although i've gotta put numbers somewhere for when I run it up the hillclimbs. Maybe just stick on numbers on the rear quarter windows?

Used to have a plastic cold feed running up to the weber, may look at fitting something similar.

Great looking mini,its a stealth machine.For your numbers for hill climbing just get a pair of white magnetic squares for your numbers.Then you can take them off after each event.
