Header Tank Fixed

Only had an hour and a half, but got a task done. Drilled the holes on the header tank and then on the bulkhead to hold it. This time, to avoid a wrong selection of drill bit sizes, I used the one of the washers to take the measure for the right drill bit (6mmØ).
It would had been easier if I had drilled the holes on the header tank prior to attaching the stiff tubes on it...
The kid was around when I was packing up and taking the picture for the blog and wanted his car to appear. Oddly enough, it's not one from "Cars" movies!

Before packing, I still had time to start laying out the electrical loom on the car. I have spent a couple of nights with the loom all spread out, labeling each wire. Now was the time to get it on the car. It is not all in, but that will be continued. The idea is first to just use plastic straps and later on use the riveted p-clips, when the location is final.
Feeling a childish urge to fit the battery, the steering wheel, the horn, wire it all up and start honking...
