Slid the dash over the bulkhead, keeping all wires connected. This allowed me to drill the last hole needed on the tunnel to fix the electrical wire.
Then I spent some time creating a cardboard template for a part to fabricate in aluminium. It will hold to the inverted "U" prop-catcher on the front and the speed sensor will be held into it.
The following step was to mark the top rear aluminium sheet that covers the tunnel to be drilled. This will allow putting it over the handbrake lever. In retrospective, forgot to mark for the gear shift lever, so it will require a second fitting test.
Also checked that the side tunnel covering sheets were perfect for fitting.
The top front sheet needs a lot of measuring and cutting. Part because of the way I passed the wiring loom under the dash, part because I need to cut a hole for the MNR Reverse Box lever and finally because the sheet was cut for RHD and my LHD requires a cut on the opposite side (the sheet is not symmetrical, can't just flip it over).
Final minutes spent on the engine bay, re-routing some wires to make the bay look more tidy and preparing to drill there for the loom p-clips. I hope this task will provide a better looking engine bay, currently looks more of a rats nest than a racing car.
